DR Operations Playbook
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. This operations-focused course delivers production-ready playbooks, checklists, and standard operating procedures. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to build repeatable day-to-day operational workflows that ensure consistency and quality. Students receive templates and frameworks they can customize and deploy immediately in their security operations, reducing time to operational effectiveness.
