DISCUSSION "Business Continuity Management - How to Guarantee the Operation of (not only critical) Infrastructure?"
Business continuity management is no longer a "paper obligation" but the key to an organization's survival. A panel of experts from banking, government, and vendor environments agreed that incidents and the pandemic have significantly accelerated the shift in mindset. Today, the number one topic is realistic planning, prepared people, and a fair conversation between business and IT. The strongest driver of change is either your own incident or learning from someone else’s misfortune. COVID and a series of cyberattacks showed that continuity is not an extra cost but an investment in resilience. The law helps, but experts emphasize that common sense should come first: protect people, services, and assets regardless of the letter of the law. A practical kick-off is a BIA – business impact analysis that turns "abstract risk" into concrete money and outages. When leadership sees what an hour or a day of downtime causes, the willingness to invest and assign responsibilities grows. Steady management support is a prerequisite for turning plans into a real recovery capability.Why continuity matters
