![]() In a constantly changing world where the future is uncertain and difficult to predict, "horizon scanning" is essential. So said James McAlister, VP of the Business Continuity Institute (BCI) and director of Crisis Prepared, in a keynote address during the ITWeb Business Continuity 2015 Conference in Johannesburg yesterday. The BCI says there are some threats that are more common among most organisations, while others present themselves to varying degrees between different geographic locations or industry sectors. |
![]() Organisations need to create, implement and manage a business resilience strategy that centres on identifying and mitigating prioritised risks across the enterprise. So said Sehume Motswenyane, senior manager, cyber security at Ernst & Young Advisory Services, speaking at the ITWeb Business Continuity 2015 conference in Johannesburg yesterday. Resilience enables the investment in business continuity management (BCM) to be fully leveraged and optimised, improving the ability to respond to rapid onset, high impact threats not traditionally covered by BCM, said Motswenyane. |
