New Disaster Recovery Book Provides Beginner's Guide for Time-Poor Executives
London, England (PRWeb) February 21, 2007 -- IT Governance Ltd, the infosecurity knowledge experts, have launched a concise new book on disaster recovery for busy executives and small organisations who need to quickly master the essential facts about this vital issue. 'Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity' summarises prevailing best practices in a clear and jargon-free manner, enabling the reader to oversee the swift implementation of appropriate measures within their own organisation.
'Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity' is written as a beginner's guide for senior executives, business owners and IT service professionals and presents its 16 chapters in a Question & Answer format for easy comprehension and speedy reading. Each chapter covers an individual aspect of disaster and continuity planning, such as Data Disasters, Communication Disasters and Disaster Recovery Tools, with real world examples providing helpful illustration throughout. Further resources are provided in the appendices, including templates, checklists and information on training. The book's contents are applicable to organisations based anywhere in the world.
Alan Calder, chief executive of IT Governance, says, "For time-poor executives disaster recovery and business continuity are issues that frequently get buried in the in-tray, usually because people aren't sure where to start. This is absolute folly as statistically very few companies survive more than a year after a disaster or business interruption. Smaller organisations are particularly vulnerable as they don't have the resources to bounce back after a major setback. This book cuts through the jargon and helps readers quickly grasp the essentials so that they can get appropriate measures in place without delay."
Priced at £29.95/US$59.25/€44.52,'Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity' is the latest addition to the range of governance, risk and compliance books and toolkits available from IT Governance. The book may be purchased online at http://www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/605 and at leading bookshops.
