Description

In today’s always-on, data-driven world, even a few minutes of downtime can cripple a business. Whether it’s a cyberattack, natural disaster, system failure, or global pandemic—your ability to recover fast and lead under pressure isn’t optional. It’s essential.

Designed for IT professionals, compliance officers, and future-focused leaders, this course equips you with everything you need to build, test, and lead a complete disaster recovery strategy—regardless of your industry or infrastructure.

We start with the fundamentals: risk identification, business impact analysis, and defining your recovery time (RTO) and point (RPO) objectives. You’ll explore the full range of DR strategy types—including hot, warm, and cold sites—and compare on-premise, cloud-based, and hybrid solutions.

  • Design and document a full disaster recovery plan from scratch

  • Set up and test backup, replication, and failover strategies

  • Navigate complex compliance frameworks like ISO 22301, NIST 800-34, HIPAA, and GDPR

  • Respond to cyberattacks like ransomware with a clear, tested recovery playbook

  • Prepare for industry-specific DR needs in finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure

  • Build a disaster recovery team, write runbooks, and train staff

  • Present your DR plan to leadership with confidence and clarity

Each lesson is built for visual learners, delivered through high-quality videos with modern, low-polygon 3D scenes that make complex topics simple and engaging. You’ll also complete a capstone project that challenges you to apply your learning by building your own full-scale DR plan.

Whether you’re preparing for certification, improving your organization’s recovery posture, or stepping into a DR leadership role—this course gives you the confidence, knowledge, and toolkit to lead recovery efforts under real-world conditions.
