Business Continuity
Business Continuity is a proactive planning process that ensures an organization can maintain or quickly resume critical functions during and after a disruption, such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, or supply chain failures. It involves identifying potential threats, assessing their impact on operations, and developing strategies to minimize downtime and data loss. The goal is to protect personnel, assets, and reputation while enabling the organization to continue delivering products or services.
Developers should learn Business Continuity to design resilient systems that can withstand failures and ensure service availability, which is critical for applications in finance, healthcare, or e-commerce where downtime leads to significant revenue loss or safety risks. It helps in implementing disaster recovery plans, backup strategies, and redundancy mechanisms, making it essential for roles involving infrastructure, DevOps, or security to meet compliance standards and customer expectations.
