The Security Mentor

My favorite security writer, Bruce Schneier, argues in an article about disaster planning that you shouldn't.

His reasoning is kind of like the old Zen proverb, "where there is no solution there is no problem". Disaster planning, in his view, is for disasters you can do something about. If you're the government, you can prepare for widespread natural disasters. If you're a business, you can prepare for having your data center flooded. But you can't meaningfully prepare for having a third of the population sick and the rest quarantined on the level of one business.
