ABSTRACT
Business resiliency leverages the technologies such as replication, continuous data protection, and snapshots to enhance resiliency, and in the process reduce recovery time objectives. Businesses can consider failover and replication options in their planning. Technology is not one size that fits all, and so it has to be customized as per business requirements. Requirement analysis is a key component in the software development lifecycle and is usually the initial step before the project commences. The application impact analysis (AIA) is a risk-based approach to determine application restoration priorities based on the needs of the business. Complexity of IT is increasing and maintenance of an adequate security architecture that aligns with business processes results in substantial impact on business. As Ron Weber, an information systems audit specialist notes security is but like onion-skin layers around the application.
