In this discussion board, you are the CISO for a publicly traded company. What protections would you implement to ensure availability of your systems (and why)?

The first protection I would implement to ensure the availability of my systems is load balancing. load balancing techniques distribute incoming network traffic across multiple servers. This helps prevent any single server from being overwhelmed and ensures consistent performance. The second protection I would implement is to establish regular backup procedures for critical data and systems. This ensures that data can be quickly restored in the event of data loss or system failure.
