BSides Tampa

Dear BSides Tampa Bay Community, I hope this message finds you all safe and well. As our communities begin to assess the impact of the recent hurricanes, our thoughts are with everyone affected by them. We know that many of you have faced significant challenges, and we encourage everyone to reach out if you can to your community to lend a helping hand. Stay safe, check in on one another, and let’s come together as a community to support each other in the days ahead. Many of you from near and far have also asked how you can help.

Happy Day 6 of Cybersecurity Awareness Month!! Today’s topic is around business continuity/disaster recovery (BCDR). BCDR is a plan that organizations draft, implement, test, and hopefully don’t have to execute around various incidents that can happen to them. These incidents can be related to data reaches or even natural disasters. The idea is to have a resilient plan to restore from the incident so you can get up and running quickly and return to normal operations. This week in Florida we have another test for BCDR plans. On the way is Tropical Storm Milton and is projected to be up to a category 3 hurricane by landfall. I am located where you see the arrow and blue dot. As of this post, not a direct hit but you can see that the line has it going 90 minutes north of us into Sarasota. These storms are never exact so we are hoping for the best. Stay safe Florida friends!! #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth

What does a hurricane have to do with #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth?! I live in Florida and we have storms all year long, but this time of the year is #hurricaneseason and damage to your home and business can be a big problem. As we prepare for #HurricaneMilton it is great time to look at business backups and hot/cold sights. If your office is in the same geographical location as your backups or data centers - an event like this can knock you out of business for a long time, if not permanently. This is why you want geographical diverse sites... Keep multiple backups and in very different areas of the country or world! If one area is affected by a disaster you can quickly transition to an unaffected backup or data center! This is called Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery or BC/DR for short. Part of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)s standards in 800-53 CP-6 and is CSF PR.DS-11 tells us to keep things separated so one disaster doesn't bring business to a halt. I hope that all my #Florida people stay safe through the storm, and everyone stays safe while online! Thanks Simply Cyber and 👉🏼 Gerald Auger, Ph.D. for always reminding us to bring things back to #NIST!
