During a disaster, the security requirements for our people and data have not changed. How do we ensure a rapid recovery and adequate security during a disruption to normal processes? As technology changes both business continuity and cyber security have to adapt these advances. It is essential as we adopt new technology to consider the impact on both of these key functions or we will end up with a "Resume generating event" as in the case of Target and numerous other companies and organizations. We will consider some of these technology changes and the affect both pro and con on cyber security and recovery capability.

Given the high level of risk at the UTMB Campus, we work to eliminate the subjectivity of the risk assessment process as much as possible and to quantify that risk where possible. The risk assessment process is the foundation of UTMB's Preparedness Program and it affords officials the the best information to optimize preparedness and respond to incidents. An overview of the Preparedness Program will be provided - looking at specific examples of risk quantification including hurricanes and chemical incidents (Hydrofluoric Acid incidents in particular).

Hurricanes and tropical storms can pose a serious threat to the well-being of any business located in an area vulnerable to these storms. It is imperative that vulnerable businesses make preparations before a hurricane strikes in order to mitigate any storm induced interruptions to operations. In this presentation, we will talk about the type of conditions and impacts a business owner can expect from a tropical cyclone that is bearing down on their community. There will be a discussion regarding the role of weather service aid to businesses and why businesses should care about the forecast. We will also take a first look at what the upcoming hurricane season may hold.

Oil and gas companies face unique environmental and human risks that require immediate response and reporting. Due to these risks and requirements, organizations have developed mature emergency response and/or incident response procedures. However, non-production risks tend to be treated as isolated events that have limited impact to the organization as a whole. In this presentation, we will talk about the need for an integrated approach to coordinate notification, escalation and response activities among all parties, including Information Technology, third party vendors, financial services, etc., to accelerate incident response, enforce playbook-driven standard operating procedures, and streamline investigative workflows.
