Week 5: Technical Aspects and Practices

Redundancy, failover mechanisms, and disaster recovery planning are like the triple combo in the cybersecurity playbook. They're your best bet in keeping systems tough, online, and kicking even when cyber mayhem strikes. Let's break it down without the fluff.

Redundancy is about having backup squad members ready to take over at a moment's notice. Think multiple power sources, data centers, or servers. If one goes down, another jumps right in, keeping the system running smooth. The trick? It's not just about piling up more gear; it's strategic placement and integration that count. You gotta make sure these backups are in different locations to dodge a single disaster wiping out your whole setup.
