Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Implementation: Participants will gain insights into the technical aspects of disaster recovery planning and business continuity implementation. Topics include data backup and recovery, IT infrastructure resilience, and continuity plan testing and maintenance.

Throughout the program, participants will engage in hands-on exercises, discussions, and simulations to reinforce learning and apply concepts to real-world scenarios. By the end of the certificate, learners will emerge with the skills and confidence to lead business continuity initiatives and safeguard organizational resilience in an ever-changing business landscape.
