Understanding the Benefits of Cloud Business Continuity

Abhinav Anand | February 18, 2022 | 382 views

Understanding the
Business continuity is all about having a complete plan to deal with a problematic situation, which would help your organization continue to function with little or no disruption. Disruptions can occur at any point and sometimes can be completely unexpected; a flood, a cyber-attack, or even system failure can cause significant disruption.

What Does Cloud Business Continuity Mean?

Thinking about a business without technology can be next to impossible, but with major dependencies on technology, it increases the chances of disruption in business continuity. Ideally, business continuity cloud is a process that helps in the development of resilience rather than solving immediate issues.

Moving to the cloud helps organizations solve this issue with ease and can also aid in making your organization more efficient, more adaptive, and eventually more profitable. To do this, it is essential that you do careful planning, especially when it’s about building business continuity on the cloud.

Primary Considerations for Maintaining Business Continuity

Traditionally, business continuity planning was meant to focus on planning for failover and high availability of critical business systems. However, organizations should take a more comprehensive approach that encompasses both organizational measures and technologies to reduce disruption, maintain security, and support uninterrupted productivity to keep a business running. An ideal business continuity strategy should address team structure, a formal plan, crisis communication, and awareness programs.

Key considerations are

• Ensure that your cloud service provider offers the level of access that your business would require.
• Make sure you have a clear understanding of how to get your data when there is a break in the flow of information.
• Have a well-thought-through plan of what to do if the cloud provider experiences a disaster.


The Key Challenges with Business Continuity on Cloud

Even cloud business continuity providers also face similar issues when the conversation is about business continuity. Some of the cloud-specific problems are:

• Integrating onto a cloud platform brings significant dependency due to all the communication that takes place.
• It is vital to understand the critical functions that are involved.
• Organizations must undertake due diligence to understand how cloud service providers (AWS, Azure Google Cloud etc.,) operate and cover disruption.
• Shadow IT is a primary concern. Some freeware platforms also own your data and don’t delete it even when the account is closed.
• Cloud misconfiguration is another major concern. Around 68% of organizations stated that cloud misconfiguration is their top concern.

In my role, I was constantly thinking about the continuity of operations, so I spent a lot of time developing options a, b, c, etc., for response to different scenarios. This approach has helped me a lot in my planning for business impact, business continuity, disaster recovery, and incident response. Another area was controlling access. This aspect helps when addressing access control and least privilege access,” 

Brad Fugitt, Chief Information Security Officer at Pax8


Perks of Cloud Business Continuity

The cloud is the best option that offers timely and error-free data recovery, which aids business continuity. In addition, the cloud is the best alternative when you cannot physically access your main offices. Having an on-premise model could bring the functioning of a business to a complete standstill.

The benefits of a business continuity plan on the cloud are:
• Ensures regular backups and easy failover
• Reduces downtime drastically
• Offers better network and information security management
• Efficiently scales to suit your business requirements
• Minimizes the impact of denial of service (DoS) attacks
• It completely eliminates the need to sync software on two sites
• Drastically reduces the recovery time – to only a few minutes

Conclusion

Cloud gives organizations the option to become responsive and resilient to business continuity. With the pandemic being a huge disruption, organizations without a cloud option would have struggled to keep up. Keeping in mind the highly dynamic environment we’re in, cloud-based business is the way forward.

The Atlanta ransomware attack is an important lesson in inadequate business continuity planning. The event revealed that the city’s IT was woefully unprepared for the attack. Just two months’ prior, an audit found 1,500 to 2,000 vulnerabilities in the city’s IT systems, which were compounded by “obsolete software and an IT culture driven by ‘ad hoc or undocumented’ processes,” according to StateScoop.

FAQ


How Do Cloud-based Systems Aid in Business Continuity?

Cloud-based business continuity eliminates all the expenses that are tied to on-premise solutions. This means you’d not need to worry about on-site hardware and building costs, physical security, and other similar costs.

How Are Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Different?

Business continuity emphasizes keeping your business operations during a disaster, while disaster recovery focuses on restoring data access and IT infrastructure after a disaster. Functioning as a cloud-based business helps ensure optimum business continuity.

What Are the Three Critical Components of a Business Continuity Plan?

An effective business continuity plan would have three major components. These three fundamental elements are resilience, recovery, and contingency.

What Is Cloud-Native and Why Does it Matter for CI

Article | March 26, 2022

Continuous intelligence (CI) relies on the real-time analysis of streaming data to produce actionable insights in milliseconds to seconds. Such capabilities have applications throughout a business. In today’s dynamic marketplace, new CI applications that use data from various sources at any given time might be needed on very short notice.The challenge is how to have the flexibility to rapidly develop and deploy new CI applications to meet fast-changing business requirements. A common approach employed today is to use a dynamic architecture that delivers access to data, processing power, and analytics capabilities on demand. In the future, solutions also will likely incorporate artificial intelligence applications to complement the benefits of traditional analytics. Increasingly, cloud-native is the architecture of choice to build and deploy AI-embedded CI applications. A cloud-native approach offers benefits to both the business and developers. Cloud-native applications or services are loosely coupled with explicitly described dependencies.

Why Microsoft Should Spinoff Its Cloud Business

Article | February 21, 2022

Microsoft currently features old-school solutions that are growing relatively slowly (Office and Windows) and new cloud solutions that are growing tremendously (Dynamics 365 and Azure). If the company stays in its current form, Microsoft stock will keep steadily advancing. But because the company’s total top and bottom lines are never going to increase much more than 30% or 35% per year, the shares are never going to deliver truly huge returns. But that would change if the company was to spin off its rapidly growing cloud businesses. In such a scenario, the current owners of Microsoft stock would receive shares in a cutting edge cloud services company (let’s call it Azure), and shares in a company focused on providing old, mostly PC-based software to businesses and consumers.

Intelligence Giant Upgrading its Cloud Technology

Article | May 20, 2022

With the huge amounts of data in all fields, a future in the cloud is imperative to help deal with this explosion of data, especially in the field of intelligence technology. This is the reason why the US Central Intelligence Agency is updating its cloud technology. The agency has recently released a draft request for proposal for its Commercial Cloud Enterprise contract.The C2E tens of billions contract will be a multi-award commercial cloud computing contract with a five-year base period and two five-year options for a period of performance of up to 15 years, according to nextgov.com.In a March 2019 presentation by the Directorate of Digital Innovation, a division of the CIA, the department outlined its vision for C2E. It would be broad and include infrastructure, platform and software cloud services supporting a broad range of users, with a variety of security clearances and a worldwide presence, as reported by techcrunch.com. The principal C2E Program objective is to acquire cloud computing services directly from commercial cloud service providers with established records for innovation and operational excellence in cloud service delivery for a large customer base,the department stated in the presentation.Apparently, the agency prefers to avoid all the attention that the Pentagon’s JEDI cloud procurement process got, and quietly go about its business.

AWS tags US$235 million to expand its cloud infrastructure in Latin America

Article | February 10, 2020

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is raising its stake on cloud computing infrastructure in Latin America. Proof of this is that the IT company will use R$1 billion (around US$235 million) to expand its data center in Sao Paulo. These millions will be used for its Data Processing Center located in that part of Brazil. In addition, a portion of these US$235 million will also be used to increase the services it offers to both public and private parties.The move gives reason to suggest that AWS is upping the ante in the future of startups and tech in the region that rely on cloud services to develop their own products.It launched its cloud center in Brazil in 2011 but it’ll be getting some beefing up thanks to these funds. Moreover, AWS has two Edge networks in São Paulo and two in Rio de Janeiro. As well as one in each of the following cities: Bogotá (Colombia), Buenos Aires (Argentina), and Santiago (Chile).The objective of all of this is to be the region’s prime provider of cloud infrastructure and beat out its competition AKA, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft’s Azure.
