CIA Triad/Rating
This is a very important IT Security principal. Considering these 3 factors we can help guide the design of a system.
RTO vs RPO
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) are important elements which guide major decisions when designing the architecture for a system but whats the difference between the two? Let’s take a look.
