Software skills: Web browser and presentation software
Business skills: Disaster recovery planning
Management is concerned that Dirt Bikes’s computer systems could be vulnerable to
power outages, vandalism, computer viruses, natural disasters, or telecommunications
disruptions. You have been asked to perform an analysis of system vulnerabilities and
disaster recovery planning for the company. Your report should answer the following
questions:
• What are the most likely threats to the continued operation of Dirt Bikes’s
systems?
• What would you identify as Dirt Bikes’s most critical systems? What is the
impact on the company if these systems cannot operate? How long could the
company survive if these systems were down? Which systems are the most
important to back up and restore in the event of a disaster?
• Use the Web to locate two disaster recovery services that could be used by a small
business such as Dirt Bikes. Compare them in terms of the services they offer.
Which should Dirt Bikes use? Exactly how could these services help Dirt Bikes
recover from a disaster?
