In light of the recent large-scale global outage caused by a popular IT security tool, many organizations are reevaluating their business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) strategies. At Sentinel, we're here to help you not only recover from such incidents but also build resilience against future disruptions. Our comprehensive three-step approach ensures your organization stays operational, no matter the circumstances.
