TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - IT disaster recovery: are you prepared? JO - Occupational health and safety A1 - Donley, Elizabeth SP - 123 EP - 124 VL - 76 IS - 10 N2 - New Web technologies provide new opportunities but also include new risks. In an article in the May 2003 edition of Harvard Business Review, Editor Nicolas G. Carr said, "executives need to shift their attention from IT opportunities to IT risks-from offense to defense." That's probably a bit extreme. A better approach is to look at IT the same way you look at any business proposition. Every decision should be an informed decision. You should weigh the opportunities against the risks in order to select the best option. Then, once you have made your decision, take the necessary steps to minimize and prepare for the risks. This includes preparing for whatever disaster may come your way.
