Session title: The steps and techniques needed for mass recovery including Db2 recovery from cyber-attacks
Session abstract: The challenge of mass Db2 recovery is overwhelming and challenging but rarely is tested. Disaster Recovery testing often occurs multiple times a calendar year, but local recovery testing especially mass application recovery rarely is tested.
Statistically speaking mass Db2 recovery will happen more frequently than an actual disaster, but most organizations are not properly prepared to execute a mass local recovery. In addition, the introduction of ransomware and cyber-attacks have introduced additional recovery opportunity to be prepared for.
This session will go through the process of planning, preparing, and executing a mass Db2 recovery. In addition to traditional laundry list of recovery scenarios ransomware, cyber-attacks and how to properly plan for this type of exposure will be discussed. The ultimate goal is to plan; prepare and be proactive rather than being non-prepared reactive when a mass Db2 recovery is needed to be executed.
