Going Beyond Recovery to Continuity: Lessons Learned

[Valerie Vogel <vvogel () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

Business continuity and disaster recovery (BC and DR) are issues closely
associated with the responsibilities of information security
professionals. In the recent Current IT Issues survey conducted by
EDUCAUSE (see http://www.educause.edu/eq/eqm06/eqm0622.asp), BC/DR were
identified as the fourth most important strategic issue by IT leaders
(with security and identity management being the number one issue of
importance). Accordingly, you will be seeing more programming and
resources in the coming months that is designed to address this critical
issue for institutions of higher education.

One such opportunity will be the next EDUCAUSE Live! Web seminar, "Going
Beyond Recovery to Continuity: Lessons Learned", featuring David G.
Swartz, Vice President and CIO at The George Washington University. The
seminar will be held on September 6th at 1 p.m. ET. For more information
