CISSP - Domain 8 - Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning

You may wonder, what business continuity and disaster recovery planning has to do with Information Security? We can have a pretty long discussion on this but to cut the story short the answer is in C-I-A triad. Plus Information Security acts a support system for business to keep going in any condition. The domain focuses on best practices for safeguarding critical information systems; their continuity and recovery procedures. How to manage an incident? How to perform business during and after an incident? How to recover from an incident and get back to the norm? All this is discussed in detail in this domain. While preparing for the exam, do not forget to differentiate between business continuity and disaster recovery.
