Is your business addressing the human element of business continuity?

The current environment has meant that many businesses are having to reassess their cloud strategy to ensure they have the correct infrastructure in place to reliably support critical business functions. For many, this means having to manage a Hybrid Cloud infrastructure.

Hosted alongside Dell Technologies, this webinar will concentrate on five key points around the challenges businesses face with managing Hybrid Cloud. The discussion will look at key use cases, what the current landscape looks like and some facts on how businesses are using cloud environments. Other topics covered include:

- Security challenges with Hybrid Cloud
- Importance of Business Continuity within cloud
- How businesses are changing how they spend their budget on IT
- What the future of Hybrid Cloud looks like

Face à une crise pandémique mondiale et inédite, on peut se demander quels effets les ressources humaines des entreprises vont ressentir et si ces effets seront durables ou non…
Le risque majeur d’une crise, telle que celle du Covid-19, est l’effondrement des collaborateurs à cause de l’état de stress post-traumatique. Qu’est-ce que ce stress et quelles sont ses conséquences ?
Et quels rôles peuvent jouer les dirigeants et les managers pour limiter le risque de survenance ou l’importance de ce stress au sein des équipes ?

Durant cette présentation, les différents facteurs de stress seront décryptés et nous tenterons d’y voir un peu plus clair, afin de mieux saisir quels comportements adopter, à chaque étape de la gestion de crise.

La grande question posée par cette présentation est : en temps normal, mais encore plus en période de pandémie, les ressources humaines ne sont-elles que des « ressources », ou bien sont-elles à considérer comme un ensemble d’êtres humains ?

Abordée de façon simple, cette présentation permettra à chacun de prendre conscience des effets possibles de la crise sur ses collègues et collaborateurs, et de se comporter d’une façon plus humaine, voire plus humaniste.

In recent months, we have seen an increase in complex Ransomware attacks against major global companies. Criminals are seeing malware and ransom attacks as a genuine revenue stream. In the current environment in particular, cyber criminals have spotted an opportunity with a significant increase in home working. Businesses are more at risk than ever.

During this webinar, we’ll look at some of the recent cyber-attacks, how these attacks are changing and some of the tactics cyber criminals are using. We’ll also consider some of the specific issues relating to widespread home working and offer some practical advice on how to better protect your business and its staff, wherever they are working.

During this webinar we’ll investigate some of the human elements that form part of a good business continuity plan. This will include looking at current and historic risks, challenges of working from home for those unfamiliar with it, the effect a new environment can have and the importance of testing when using a workplace recovery site.

In this session, we will look at some of the key communication strategies businesses should be considering when faced with extreme disruption. We will discuss how to communicate with customers and suppliers to keep your business operating, plus internal communication to ensure staff are fully informed and kept safe.

A cyber-disaster is one of the important and pressing problems organisations face today, impacting key systems and information. For many organisations, the cost and time required to recover operations can be as problematic as the breach itself. Having a proven plan to get running again is critical.

Using the NIST model, Sungard AS experts discuss optimising the “respond” and “recover” stages of managing a breach, helping attendees ensure they are positioned to respond.

Business, technological and political changes are forcing organizations to rethink their infrastructure strategy, like colocation, and to wonder if applications could do better elsewhere. But, other factors are driving increased confidence in the cloud. So, what’s an organization to do?
