Recovery Point Objective (RPO) refers to the amount of data a company can lose or the time period of data loss that a company can withstand and still be viable. Recovery Time Objective (RTO) refers to the time frame after a disaster until business operations are functioning normally again, with resources available for use. Financial institutions with sensitive data and real-time transactions require RPO and RTO that are much smaller and briefer — seconds or minutes — than other kinds of businesses that may be able to withstand hours of data loss and days until recovery. An RTO that is two minutes versus 24 hours equates to a very different level of business investment in people, processes, and availability. Do your security and disaster response plans allow you to meet these objectives? Do you have the people and technical resources to executive on these plans? Another key consideration for disaster recovery planning is how to utilize cloud and on-premises resources. Enterprises with highly customized infrastructure may benefit from hosting their own data center or leveraging hybrid-cloud deployments. Smaller to midsized companies, where workloads are not as customized, may achieve a better return on investment (ROI) with a cloud provider. Public cloud can enable efficient spin up and getting infrastructure back online quickly when there’s no need for heavy customization of services. Companies must seek to safeguard business continuity both before disruption occurs and after the fact. Since the weight of a potential disruption to normal business operations can be crippling, business leaders need to clearly assess both information security and backup and disaster recovery. A data protection plan that includes both will ensure that the best and safest path forward is always available - on either side of the business continuity coin.

Biometrics Challenges By Milica D. Djekic The armed guys have approached a bank and made an assault to its office. The security manager has followed procedures and the criminals have collected money safely leaving the crime scene. After several minutes the Police patrolling has arrived there. They have started an inspection as well as interviewing of all people being present at the crime scene at that moment. That seems as a lot of hard work. The first step the authorities have taken is collecting the findings and evidence from the place of the crime. The video monitoring system has served its role, but there have been some fingerprint and DNA footages as well. So, they have gotten an identity of offenders, but the good question is how they might track their route. The experienced investigators know that the criminals could take some of the communication devices with themselves, so that search could be run, too. It appears that’s only an empty bullet as the offenders have switched off their devices while on the crime scene. In other words, the authorities can get who they are, but not where they are. It seems like a maze, does not it? Think twice! If the Police deal with their biometrics parameters they can run a search through some domestic and international databases looking for ID documents that match such a criterion. Next, they will do so and bingo – the several passports with those biometrics inputs have been found for the same fingerprint trace. In other words, now the authorities know those guys cope with the fake passports. And what then? Still unclear? Basically, no! What’s possible to do in such a case is to figure out that the bank robbers need to make some route after committing the crime. They need the communication, logistics and accommodation in order to stay on the surface. Above all, they deal with the fake ID cards and passports, but the biometrics with those Cyber Defense eMagazine – July 2021 Edition 123 Copyright © 2021, Cyber Defense Magazine.
