This whitepaper outlines a repeatable, risk-based approach that spans the entire patch lifecycle – from automated discovery and vendor notification through prioritisation, testing, deployment, verification, and post patch documentation.

This whitepaper outlines a practical, strategy-led approach to data tiering and retention in Splunk, helping organisations control rising data volumes without sacrificing visibility or performance. It explains how intelligent filtering, routing, and storage optimisation using SmartStore and Edge Processor can reduce costs, improve search efficiency, and ensure the right data is retained in the right tier for security, compliance, and operational success.

The Black Start Operational Resilience (BSOR) Framework was created to provide a way back when business capabilities are lost, where speed and security of recovery is the priority.

The name comes from the electricity industry. This industry has a ‘Black Start' plan to restart the electricity grid. It is their Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP), with detailed plans and additional hardware in place, supported by tested processes to restart the electricity grid in the event of a major failure. The BSOR Framework details what information, and processes must be in place to enable recovery of your critical business applications in the event of a catastrophic failure.

If your system was compromised today, would your DRP be sufficient in its current state to recover the business in short order?
