Operational Resiliency: Harnessing ITIL for Improvement
Darin Degenstein, Consultant- bio

Operational resiliency is achieved through collaborative security, business continuity, and IT operations. ITIL provides a framework to support and enable these activities. By implementing and operating ITIL-based IT Service Management processes, organizations can begin to align people, processes, and technology that inevitably support operational resiliency. Darin will walk through operational resiliency and how the ITIL IT Service Management framework supports it, implementation do’s and don’ts, and the benefits of this approach.

Business Continuity Myths Debunked: Understanding & Implementing BCP

Business continuity planning helps organizations prepare for incidents that threaten their daily activities. Not restricted to technology alone, Business Continuity Planning identifies and plans for the continuance of the most important functions of your organization in a controlled manner. While it should not cost a fortune to create a BCP, there is quantifiable return on investment when the plan is called to action.
