WHY IT MATTERS
Why Disaster Recovery matters in finance
Recovery capability determines how quickly critical financial services can return to normal operation.
FINANCIAL SYSTEM CONTEXT
← Back to the Financial Security GlossarySecurity is also a market-infrastructure question

A control can be technically effective while still leaving material resilience risk if critical services cannot continue or recover during disruption.
