Contingency planning and disaster recovery
As infrastructures grow more complex incidents and incident causes can grow more complex and will have more impact. E-infrastructures should prepare for recovery after major incidents that cause the temporary or permanent loss of critical parts of the infrastructure. As a part of the preparation there should be a crisismanagement organization and (at least) high level recovery plans. To be able to do a successful recovery documentation and data should be available through proper backup mechanisms. All recovery facilities including backups should be tested at regular intervals.
E-infrastructures should also look into prevention against complex incidents and take basic measures such as power backup, fire prevention and suppression systems, lightning protection and where applicable protection against natural disasters like earthquakes and floodings.
