Upcoming IT disaster recovery exercise

This exercise will simulate a real IT incident and is a proactive step in helping us test our current processes and strengthen how we’d respond in case of such an event happening in the future.

We expect there to be limited disruption to some IT services as part of this exercise however this will be minimised as much as possible. IT Services will aim to restore any affected services within the same day.

Where you and your teams are impacted by any service disruption or outages please consider how you would continue to work if this disruption were to occur for a more prolonged period of time i.e are there any alternative ways of working available to you?

Recent examples of high-profile retailers disrupted by cyber attacks show the importance of enhancing our resilience and making sure we remain well prepared to respond to incidents as they arise. If you have any queries about this exercise please contact IT Services.
