There are many circumstances in life where we prepare for relatively unlikely events. We install sprinklers and fire extinguishers in buildings,

air bags in cars, pilots train for engine failures and forced landings and many other emergencies. We back up our computer systems.

When these things happen, it is better that we have thought about how we respond to them, and put facilities in place to mitigate the consequences.

I am sure many of us have participated in Disaster Recovery exercises. Sorry, it is called Business Continuity these days. Data breaches are just

one of the scenarios you cater for in BC planning.
