Topic: Recovering from the Distribute IT data centre failure

Business Continuity and Disaster recovery issues in real life following a recent data centre failure.  Kevin's business manages a number of client websites, email and other business facilities. A recent Australian registry and data centre failure severely tested the ability for thousands of Australian businesses and websites to survive, some did but it was reported in the SMH and elsewhere that many didn't. Kevin's business survived and is now growing with improved services. What happened around the event, what worked, what could have been done better and just as importantly what effort was wasted - in short what learnings are valuable to Kevin's business and others.

Speaker: Kevin Manderson

Kevin has been in the information security field since commencing in military communications in the 1970s. After leaving the services he worked for a number of companies in New Zealand and Australia in the fields of industrial controls, project management, information management and security before starting his own company in 1993. He started the web side of the business in 1995 providing development, hosting and DNS and email support, services still being provided as Tasmania oldest web developers and hosters. He lectured in Security, Project management and Usability at the University of Tasmania for over four years. In recent years he has been involved in infrastructure testing for the Tasmanian power utilities when they entered the NEM with Basslink and then moved to IT Auditing. Information security has been a continuous thread through his career. He has presented at numerous conferences.
