BCDR
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
operationsmedium
BCDR combines two related disciplines: business continuity keeps critical operations running during a disruption, while disaster recovery restores IT systems and data afterward. Together they cover everything from ransomware and data center failures to natural disasters, guided by targets like RTO and RPO. The emphasis is on resilience, not just prevention, since recovery capability often determines whether an organization survives a major incident.
