In this basic course, you will learn how to switch perspectives from having a static Business Continuity Plan to an ongoing dynamic Business Continuity Management (BCM) system, and how to integrate it into your Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Program. The presenter will take you through the key elements of the FFIEC’s Business Continuity Management Booklet that is part of the FFIEC’s IT Examination Handbook.
