Business Continuity for Web Sites

Web sites are vulnerable and hackers are relentless. Business continuity is a discipline designed to proactively protect enterprise assets, including Web sites, against intrusion, and provide strategic recovery plans to implement in the case of a disaster or breach. Potential intrusions are varied and require effective preventive tools. Tools include robust physical security along with essential Web site protections such as firewalls, anti-virus software, and intrusion detection systems. Effective business continuity for Web sites also requires redundant systems/software and recovery plans that are regularly reviewed, updated, and tested.
