** IT Confidential: Paranoid Or Prepared: You Make The Call

Congress last week released a report on the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks, and one thing that came through loud and clear was,
despite strong indications a terrorist attack was imminent, the
agencies involved didn't act like it. That, and subsequent
developments in the world, are why the results of a Harris
Interactive survey to be released this week are a bit unsettling.

The poll, sponsored by SunGard Availability Services, queried 52
"C-level" executives at large companies, and **a third** say their
firms aren't any more prepared now, in terms of business
continuity and disaster recovery, than they were before Sept. 11.

Only 60% say their companies have teams designated to handle
information-continuity operations from remote locations, slightly
less than that have backup offices for workers displaced by a
disaster, and a little more than half say their companies have
disaster-preparedness training for employees who deal with
information access. Just 2% believe a terrorist attack is the
biggest threat to their ability to access information systems
without interruption.
