What is the difference between business continuity and disaster recovery?
In today’s fast-paced, always-connected world, organizations face a growing number of risks that could interrupt operations—ranging from natural disasters and cyberattacks to system failures and human error. To mitigate the impact of these risks, businesses implement Business Continuity (BC) and Disaster Recovery (DR) strategies. Although often used interchangeably, BC and DR are distinct concepts with different scopes, objectives, and implementation strategies. Understanding their differences is crucial for developing a resilient and comprehensive response plan.
