Computer Science Homework Help

As you learned in Chapter 13 of your textbook, BCPs help organizations prepare for a major disaster or disruption in their operations. Natural disasters, such as floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes, can cause power outages that could severely impact business operations and IT systems. Unforeseen circumstances, such as a hack, data breach, or poorly planned business change, can also impact operations and a business’s IT infrastructures. For this week’s discussion, you and your peers will have the opportunity to reflect on BCPs.
