She holds an MBA from Lake Forest Graduate School of Management and a CISSP certification from ISC2. Previously, Amy was the CISO for The Clorox Company during a significant cyber incident. In this episode… The concept of disaster recovery has evolved significantly in recent years, urging companies to evaluate their security capabilities and infrastructure to plan for cyber events and specific scenarios. While publicly traded companies have some measures in place to restore data and minimize disruptions, privately held companies may not be as prepared. And, as new SEC cyber disclosure rules target third-party risk management, this places pressure on privately held companies to disclose breaches. How can companies maintain strong data resilience and incident response planning? With cyber events becoming increasingly disastrous, having a business disaster recovery plan that can recover data and resume operations is more critical than ever. Yet, sometimes the affected data isn't always trustworthy, especially if the breach occurred among third-party vendors. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels chat with Amy Bogac, the CISO at Elevate Textiles, about the critical need for businesses to revisit their disaster recovery plans and integrate data resilience strategies. Amy stresses going back to the basics by regularly reviewing and updating DR plans and ensuring that all business processes are documented and tested. She also explains the magnitude of risks companies face today, highlighting the need for stakeholder and company-wide involvement in training and incident response planning.
