MHA Consulting, Inc. (MHA), a leader in Business Continuity Planning, announced that CEO Michael Herrera will present Exercise Your Way to DR/Cyber Threat Testing Zen: How to Conduct a Real-World Cyber Threat Exercise, a DRJ Webinar Series event sponsored by Carbonite, on September 27, 2017.
Zen, as defined by the Urban Dictionary, is a total state of focus that incorporates a togetherness of body and mind.
Real-world DR/Cyber threat testing and exercises require a state of togetherness of corporate body and mind (e.g., Information Technology, Business Continuity, Crisis/Incident Management, Communications, and Senior Management) to be integrated to be successful. So, how do we achieve this Zen? Is it possible? Our webinar will focus on the key steps and actions to defining the scope, assumptions, objectives, and scenarios that incorporate the togetherness of critical areas of the organization, validate key plans, and challenge the teams in a manner that will achieve the “Zen” necessary to build confidence in our organization. The Zen of DR/Cyber Threat Testing is achievable; however, it takes careful planning that ensures that the purpose of the testing is not just about Information Technology but the organization as a whole and its ability to service its customers and stakeholders.
“For years, we’ve been working with clients to assure the availability of services,” said Michael Herrera. “I am thrilled to have this opportunity to partner with the Disaster Recovery Journal and Carbonite to discuss how to focus on those things that you can control to achieve Zen through cyber threat exercising.”
