Slide 2: Introduction

• In today’s world, businesses are more reliant on technology than ever before.
• This reliance on technology makes businesses vulnerable to a variety of risks, including natural disasters, cyberattacks, and human error.
• A business continuity and disaster recovery plan (BC/DR plan) is essential for protecting a business’s data and resources in the event of a disruption.
• This presentation will discuss the risks and types of attacks that must be planned for and protected against in a BC/DR plan.

Slide 3: What is a BC/DR plan?

• A BC/DR plan is a document that outlines the steps a business will take to continue operations in the event of a disruption.
• The plan should include steps for:
  • Identifying and assessing risks
  • Developing recovery strategies
  • Testing and rehearsing the plan
  • Communicating the plan to employees

Slide 4: Why is a BC/DR plan important?

• A BC/DR plan is important for a number of reasons, including:
  • Protecting data and resources
  • Minimizing downtime
  • Maintaining customer confidence
  • Reducing financial losses

Slide 5: Types of risks

• There are a number of different types of risks that can disrupt a business, including:
  • Natural disasters: Earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and other natural disasters can cause significant damage to businesses.
  • Cyberattacks: Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly common and can lead to data breaches, financial losses, and damaged reputations.
  • Human error: Human error can also lead to disruptions, such as accidental data deletion or system outages.

Slide 6: Types of attacks

• There are a number of different types of cyberattacks that can target businesses, including:
  • Ransomware attacks: Ransomware attacks encrypt a business’s data and demand a ransom payment in order to decrypt it.
  • Phishing attacks: Phishing attacks are designed to trick employees into clicking on malicious links or providing sensitive information.
  • Denial-of-service attacks: Denial-of-service attacks overwhelm a business’s website or systems with traffic, making them unavailable to legitimate users.

Slide 7: Steps to protect against risks

• There are a number of steps that businesses can take to protect against risks, including:
  • Implementing security measures, such as firewalls and antivirus software.
  • Educating employees about security risks. Backing up data regularly.
  • Having a BC/DR plan in place.

Slide 8: Conclusion

• A BC/DR plan is essential for protecting a business’s data and resources in the event of a disruption.
• By understanding the risks and types of attacks that businesses face, businesses can develop a plan that will help them to minimize the impact of a disruption.

Slide 9: Call to action

• I encourage the BOD to approve the development of a BC/DR plan for PMI.
• This plan will help to protect PMI’s data and resources in the event of a disruption and will help to minimize the impact of the disruption on PMI’s operations.
