Talking about DRP Management (Isvet Laclaustra)

October 1, 2009 § Leave a comment

 

Quote "A business continuity plan is essential. Most crucial is to keep it up to date as the business requirements continue to evolve . From planning, testing & validating to the execution we go side by side with your IT Organization to assure success!"

Now, do you know the DRP of your organization? Who knows it? Find out the last time someone tested it!

Do you have a location in which to test the DRP? What do you need at the DRC and how to validate it?

Do you have hardware, software and the SOP updated?

A DRP is not a BCP (Business Continuity Plan).

In changing times you need a DRP plus a BCP.

IM Entrevista con Isvet Laclaustra: INFOLOGIC

Al pasar del tiempo y la integración del internet a cada aspecto del negocio de una empresa, la seguridad es un elemento fundamental y critico en cualquier empresa. Microsoft ha hecho muchos esfuerzos para agilizar la implementación, manejo y análisis de la infraestructura de seguridad en una empresa. Hoy día el sistema operativo cuenta con mas features para poder facilitar el manejo de la seguridad. Para hablarnos un poco de esta plataforma me acompaña en esta ocasión Isvet Laclaustra, [Senior Systems Engineer] de la empresa Infologic , además es MVP [PowerShell] y maneja tecnologías Microsoft en Windows Server 2008, Vista, Windows 7 y Exchange 2007.

Yamille Morales (Microsoft Puerto Rico): Isvet, antes de comenzar nos gustaría conocer un poco de ti. Cuál es tu trasfondo técnico?

Isvet Laclaustra (Infologic & IT Community Staff Puerto Rico): Trabajo en Tecnologías de Información y Capacitación desde 1994, enfocando en el desarrollo en aéreas como Diseño, Manejo y Protección de la Infraestructura IT. Entre las aéreas de mayor desempeño están la Capacitación, Manejo de Sistemas de Salud, Sistemas de Logística, Administración de Proyectos IT & Construcción y la Industria de Transportación Vertical / Horizontal. He colaborado como Beta Tester de Productos / Tecnologías Microsoft entre otras incluyendo Windows 7 como miembro del Technical Expert Panel. En este momento cuento con las certificaciones MCITP: Enterprise Administrator, MCTS: Windows Vista, MCTS: SQL 2005, MCDBA, MCSE: Security, MCSA: Messaging, MCT, CET, e ITIL. Isvet es Co-Fundador y Administrador del IT Community Staff de Puerto Rico, una organización que empodera a miembros de la comunidad IT de diversos perfiles en Puerto Rico y el Caribe

YM: A que se dedica la Infologic? Cuanto tiempo ahí?

IL: Desde el 1994. Empresa con base en Puerto Rico dedicada a proveer servicios y consultoría a la región del Caribe en las áreas de:

  • Information Technology Services,

  • Training & Certification Services

YM: Cuál es tu rol y responsabilidad dentro de la empresa?

IL: Como Senior Systems Engineer & Chief Trainer, ayudo a que nuestros clientes implementen tecnologías Microsoft maximizando la productividad y manejo apropiado de la seguridad en sus sistemas. Promover la interoperabilidad en los sistemas de TI y sobre todo transferir conocimiento efectivamente.

YM: Has trabajado mucho en implementaciones de seguridad?

IL: Hemos visto como la tecnología ha evolucionado y como en poco más de una década la seguridad informática sigue teniendo un rol vital para las organizaciones que día a día requieren que los miembros de su organización colaboren remotamente 24/7 sin importar su ubicación geográfica o país.

YM: Como compara la visión de Microsoft hoy día alrededor del tema de seguridad en los pasados años?

IL: Microsoft ha evolucionado y actualmente provee muchas opciones, herramientas y apoyo desde la base OS.

YM: Cuanta experiencia tienes con features de seguridad en Vista SP1 y Windows Server?

IL: Hemos tenido la oportunidad de participar desde la versión BETA de ambos productos mencionados incluyendo los actuales BETA SP2 y R2 respectivamente.

Windows Server 2008 OS… el mejor y más seguro! ADDS

YM: Cual entiendes tú que son las tres bondades más importantes de la combinación de Windows Server y Vista SP1?

IL: Group Policies, NAP, User Account Control

Group Policies, ahora están separadas del Log ON Process, su formato es ahora basado en XML . Ofrecen la opción de Group Policy Preferences, excelente bondad y muy flexible configuración.

NAP, controla e informa a los usuarios del estado de protección de sus PCs. Ya puedes comunicar efectivamente el estado de configuración requerido de las PCs que utilizan servicios de dominio. Como está configurado el firewall, si el AV está actualizado y si su PC tiene las actualizaciones de seguridad OS, Office y otras aplicaciones.

User Account Control, protección del ROOT. Una manera manejable y efectiva de cómo prevenir que código malicioso se instale en tu PC. Puedes manjar el nivel de control, método autenticación requerido para ejecutar código en tu PC.

YM: Como compara con otros productos que has manejado?

IL: Muy rentables y efectivos, y respaldados por apoyo en línea e información disponible de fácil acceso en línea 24/7.

YM: Tienes algún sitio donde la gente te pueda contactar; un blog, email, etc?
