Back to analog für Business Continuity

Gerade in industriellen Umgebungen von kritischen Infrastrukturen ist ein Betrieb mit hoher Verfügbarkeit, möglichst ohne jede Unterbrechung der Produktionsprozesse, absolut unabdingbar. Das Thema Business Continuity Management (BCM) spielt im Kontext der Security in diesem Bereich eine besonders grosse Rolle. Wenn ein Cyberangriff erfolgt und dadurch Infrastruktur lahmgelegt wird, müssen möglichst typengleiche Systeme (Hardware) als Ersatzsysteme mit kompatibler Software (Firmware, Betriebssystem) unmittelbar bereitstehen, damit Backups zurückgespielt und Systeme wiederhergestellt werden können. Bis dies erfolgt ist, müssen zudem Ersatzprozesse möglichst sofort in Kraft treten.
