A company has a disaster recovery strategy that mandates regular simulation exercises to validate recovery steps and procedures. The main goal of these simulation exercises is to safeguard against prolonged outages and data loss in event of a real disaster. What is the PRIME reason for conducting these simulation exercises?
To evaluate the financial implications and potential savings of switching to a cloud-based disaster recovery solution.
To validate and improve the procedures outlined in the disaster recovery plan, ensuring they are effective and practical.
To establish a more secure authentication mechanism for remote access during a disaster recovery scenario.
To determine more efficient ways of encrypting backup data to reduce restoration times.
