In this video, Andre Gold, vice president and CISO of MoneyGram International, will discuss the basics of disaster recovery and business continuity planning, and define several general terms associated with disaster recovery and business continuity planning to help organizations develop a more accurate understanding. The text transcript of Gold's comments is included below. Andre Gold: Over the past four to five years, I've spent a lot of time in disaster recovery and business continuity planning as part of my role as the chief risk officer as well as the CISO for a couple major organizations. During that time, in working with those firms, I've had a greater appreciation of disaster recovery and business continuity planning, and I've learned that although BCP and DR are very important to firms, when its actually time to execute upon those respected strategies, many firms fail, and they fail fundamentally because they lose sight of the core elements of disaster recovery and business continuity planning. And with that, it's those core elements that we will be discussing today.
