Ray Unrau - ICS is not CPR
This session will examine the evolution of the Incident Command System (ICS) from its origins in California during the 1970s to its current state in 2024 and address some of the challenges to effectively implementing ICS that organizations have faced over the decades and offer some options for consideration.

Garth Tucker - Modernize your BC with Criticality Scoring

Not all systems, functions, resources, and processes within an organization are of equal importance. Some functions are critical to daily operations, while others may have a lesser impact if disrupted during a low usage period, but become high impact at certain times, e.g. Payroll. Its function is critical two or three times a month in most organizations. This means, if an outage occurs during an off-pay week, it’s not a great inconvenience, but if an outage occurs during a payroll run, its pretty critical, especially to those living paycheque to paycheque. RTO is both good and not so good for building resilience when viewed through that lens.
