About the speaker
David Davies is an award-winning Business Resilience and IT Resilience Consultant at Daisy Corporate Services. He has worked in IT resilience and recovery for more than 20 years, starting in a technical role at IBM looking after data backups and testing disaster recovery on very large enterprise systems. David moved on to project management of disaster recovery testing, then left IBM to work in business continuity consultancy over the last 14 years. In that time, David has worked with more than 150 organisations as a resilience consultant, some medium-sized but the vast majority being enterprise-sized organisations.

About the session
Information Security, IT Disaster Recovery, IT Service Management, Business Continuity and Risk Management are roles with a broadly common purpose - the smooth continuity of business operations. However, these often work in isolation to one another. David Davies examines what happens in a major incident if these roles aren't working together during the incident - and haven't prepared together before the incident occurs. David will explore the need for organisations to set up a resilience steering group and how all of the above roles can facilitate working together. David’s session gives insight and advice to help organisations prepare with a united front and be clear on ownership. David will give examples including a cyber breach and COVID-19 response, to illustrate his points.
