    Many organizations have used the all-hazards approach to their risk tolerance for years. However, with the continued rise of cyber attacks and ransomware, a one-size-fits-all solution still works for businesses. Many times, if there has been a cyber security breach, the recovery takes longer than if it is a failed piece of infrastructure that has to be replaced. Businesses need to be aware of the full impact and whether we should continue to commit ourselves to RTO, which can only be met for specific scenarios. This presentation looks at how the conversation should be approached to ensure we provide accurate information to offer better-informed decisions around RTO and RPOs in the organizations based on reality verses fiction. 

    Ray Holloman, M.B.A., M.S., CBCP, CCRP, MBCI, is a senior program manager for enterprise disaster recovery for F5 Networks and the founder/CEO of Holloman Solutions.

    Margaret Millett has been a successful global business continuity planner, responder, manager, and executive for more than 30 years. She has built programs from scratch to surpass client and audit requirements for Fortune 300 companies. Margaret is well-respected in our industry. And yet, at the end of last year and with no warning, she was told by her employer that her and her team’s services were no longer needed. Suddenly, unemployment became her full-time job. Unfortunately, Margaret’s experience is far from unique. Sudden job loss can occur when you are terminated or laid off, when you resign because you feel you have no choice, or when you are burned out and choose to leave. Regardless of the reason, the sudden loss of a job can be nothing short of traumatic. It is a personal and professional crisis that must be managed. Margaret will discuss the events, examine her journey, provide perspectives, and share lessons learned. Participants can also share their experiences with others.

    Margaret J. Millett, MsBC, FBCI (Hon), MBCP has been actively involved in the business continuity field for many years. She is the recipient of the 2023 BCI Lifetime Achievement Award. She has worked for IT and Financial Services Fortune 300 companies in Ireland and the United States. Margaret has held board levels positions with business continuity organizations, written publications and spoken at conferences in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
