"With the recent release of the Department of Homeland Security's National Infrastructure Protection Plan, this single-source repository for business continuance and disaster recovery planning and deployment could not have been better timed. Drs. Rittinghouse and Ransome have captured the strategic and technical essentials necessary for governmental and business leaders to make informed decisions concerning the survival of their organizations, be it day-to-day or in extraordinary situations. As we all continue to face increased threat activities, this book is a must have for your organization. There is something for everyone in this work, from understanding the process of risk mitigation for the leadership to detailed checklists for the technical implementer. I strongly recommend this book."Harley Rinerson, Chief Information Officer for the Colorado Department of Military & Veterans Affairs
