SECURE-U
Summary
A key component of the CU*Answers Business Continuity Program is the High-Availability (HA) Rollover. Performed every six months, it's the best evidence we can provide that recovery teams are prepared to respond should a disruptive incident occur at the production data center. Most credit unions are aware of these exercises, but do they really know what happens behind the scenes or how to get the most value from these events as part of their vendor due diligence programs?
In this 30-minute webinar, we’ll unpack the process of planning and conducting the HA rollover and introduce the audience to resources available on the CU*Answers web site including gap analysis reports and information on systems availability across time zones.
