A disaster recovery plan (DRP) is a document that outlines the procedures an organization will follow to restore its operations and data after a disaster, including cyber-attacks. The goal of a DRP is to minimize the downtime and data loss that can result from a disaster and to ensure that the organization can return to normal operations as quickly as possible.

To protect against cyber attacks, disaster recovery plans typically include the following:

1. Risk assessment: Identifying the potential vulnerabilities and threats to the organization’s IT systems and data, and assessing the potential impact of a cyber-attack.
2. Backup and recovery procedures: Establishing procedures for regularly backing up critical data and systems, and for recovering them in the event of a cyber attack. This may include off-site backups and/or cloud-based solutions.
3. Failover solutions: Having a plan in place for switching over to backup systems or services in the event of a cyber-attack or other disruption, to minimize downtime and data loss.
4. Communication and coordination: Establishing procedures for communicating with employees, customers, and partners in the event of a cyber attack, including procedures for maintaining business operations and customer service.
5. Testing and rehearsal: Regularly testing and rehearsing the DRP to ensure that it is effective and that employees understand their roles and responsibilities.
6. Update and maintain the DRP: Regularly update the DRP to reflect changes in the organization, its operations, and the threat landscape, and ensure that all employees are familiar with it.

By having a well-established disaster recovery plan in place, organizations can minimize the impact of a cyber attack and quickly restore their operations and data. This helps to prevent any long-term damage, and minimize the legal, financial, and reputational consequences that can result from a cyber attack.
