Pandemic Planning and Response

The last documented pandemic was in 1968 and the result was devastating. Today we plan for crashes of server farms and denial of service attacks and even how to counter them with intelligent software tools. The key still remains the people. If your staff was halved overnight and some of the brightest and most talented employees were unable to assist your business how long would you last?

Before the “Bird Flu”, there was SARS. This should have been everyone’s “wake-up call”. In today’s world of potential global flu pandemic outbreaks and with health officials increasing warnings that there may be casualty figures in the millions. Companies are realizing the necessity of factoring such an event into their business continuity and crisis management planning rather than waiting for a pandemic to cause widespread shutdowns.

It is widely known that over the past 25 years technology has developed at an incredible rate. Our ability to connect with other businesses across the globe has rapidly evolved. As soon as this became the usual and customary practice there were those who would seek to destroy it and the computer virus was born and business suffered from loss of data and denial of service attacks. The solution to all of this was the people in these businesses, who countered the problem with intellect and human assessment of a suitable response. Despite the technology the most useful resource were the people.
