DR for Beginners
RCCE students will learn disaster recovery planning, implementation, and testing including recovery strategy development, recovery site design (hot/warm/cold), data replication, failover/failback procedures, and recovery testing. RCCE students will learn to conduct business impact analysis to determine recovery time and recovery point objectives, design disaster recovery architectures that meet organizational requirements, implement data replication and backup strategies, develop and document disaster recovery procedures, conduct disaster recovery tests and exercises, evaluate test results and update plans accordingly, and integrate disaster recovery with business continuity and crisis management programs. Designed for students with no prior experience in this area, this course builds knowledge from the ground up with clear explanations, guided demonstrations, and progressive skill-building. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn core concepts through practical examples that connect theory to real-world security operations. By completion, students will have the foundational knowledge and hands-on confidence needed to contribute in professional cybersecurity roles.
