Operational resilience is no longer a checklist, it's a leadership signal
The situation this course is for
Teams ship faster when continuity isn't outsourced to compliance or bolted on late. But without clear ownership, recovery plans drift from code realities.
Who this is for
Senior technical leader in financial services tech, already owning delivery of critical .Net systems, ready to expand formal remit
Who this is not for
Individuals seeking certification prep, junior developers, or non-technical compliance staff
What you walk away with
- Own the full ISO 22301 gap assessment for your current application portfolio
- Lead incident response planning that aligns with failover architecture
- Document recovery time objectives with engineering precision
- Present validated test results to internal audit and leadership
- Integrate continuity checks directly into deployment pipelines
