COVID-19: Four Underestimated Parts of Your Security Operations Business Continuity Plan

Business Continuity Plans (BCP) are something you meticulously build but hope to never have to use. Today, we are aggressively leveraging our BCP in ways that we may not have expected.

As you pivot your workforce, quickly adopt a predominantly remote work environment and absorb the associated risks, what have you overlooked? As you assess your current security operations BCP plan and actively make adjustments, we would like to share some of our learnings with you.

As one of the largest managed security service providers in the world, Trustwave has run simulations on a variety of different use cases to prepare for exactly this. Greg Bell, Vice President of the Trustwave Managed Security Services Global Security Operations Threat Prevention Team, discusses four frequently overlooked (or underestimated) challenges of a security operations BCP. Bell will also address how Trustwave handles these items and how we can help you.

1. Resource constraints
2. Employees and remote work
3. Infrastructure challenges
4. Increased cyber threats
