Business continuity management is particularly important in the areas of cybercrime and cybersecurity, digital transformation and HR work and teams. It describes all the measures that a company takes to maintain or quickly restore business operations in the event of unexpected crises - such as hacker attacks, power outages or natural disasters.
The aim of business continuity management is to minimise damage and get back to work as quickly as possible. This includes, for example, regularly backing up important data and ensuring that employees know what to do in an emergency. Emergency plans and clear responsibilities are also part of this.
An illustrative example: In an online retail company, the IT suddenly fails because a hacker paralyses the systems. Thanks to well thought-out business continuity management, backup copies are automatically imported and employees can continue working from home with prepared laptops. This prevents loss of sales and annoyance with customers.
Business continuity management is therefore a key component for any company that wants to operate safely and reliably even in times of crisis.
