Recovery Testing - 3.4

Testing and evaluation of a recovery plan.

Tabletop Exercises

Working through the steps of a disaster scenario without physically executing them.

Participants discuss their roles and responses during a simulated disaster.

Failover Testing

Assessing whether redundant configurations can take over if necessary.

Ensuring systems can fail over to the redundant unit smoothly.

Simulation

Testing with a simulated event to evaluate response procedures.

• Phishing attack simulations
• Password compromise scenarios
• Data breach simulations

Parallel Processing

Using multiple systems or sites to process data simultaneously during testing.

This ensures that backup systems can handle workloads if the primary system fails.
