Disaster recovery has been the topic of study this week. What do you think is the most difficult and expensive disaster to plan for? Do you think companies plan adequately? In your experience (or research if you have no experience) what aspect is most lacking in corporate planning? Why do you think this is?
Additionally, this week, we are going to start thinking about the CISSP Certification. This is a very important certification for managers in the IT field. Managers need to understand the gravity of securing data and data systems. Strayer University, the faculty and staff, want all our students to be successful in the IT field. While we don’t require students to get certifications, we strongly encourage them to do so as the likelihood of finding and being qualified for that dream job is increased with certification as well as education (your degree). Start thinking about where and when you’re going to sit for your certification exam. You know more than you may think, and you are encouraged to sit for your exam as soon as you’re ready. How will you know that you’re ready? Discuss it with your instructor and your classmates.
