In today’s threat landscape—ransomware, outages, human error—organizations need more than backups; they need a clear roadmap to Best-in-Class recovery.
During this talk, you’ll discover:
--A three-domain framework (Data Strategy; People & Processes; Technology) assessed across four maturity horizons
