Ensuring Mission Continuity: BCDR Best Practices for the Public Sector


Event Date: December 10, 2025
Hosted By: Snowflake & Carahsoft

Is your agency's data architecture truly resilient against a natural disaster, power grid failure, or major cloud outage? For state, local, and federal civilian organizations, a major disruption compromises essential citizen services and erodes public trust.

Snowflake hosted a webinar sharing best practices and providing step-by-step guidance to ensure the protection of your critical data and applications against any unplanned outage or planned migration.

What Was Covered: The Pillars of Resilience                                                                                                                                                                 

We dove deep into the two pillars of Snowflake's resilience architecture and how they map to government needs:

  • Replication and Failover/Failback:
    • Learned to use Replication Groups and Failover Groups to create point-in-time consistent copies of your objects (including databases, shares, users, and roles) to one or multiple accounts across regions or cloud platforms.
    • Learned how to configure customizable schedules for different object groups based on criticality.
  • Client Redirect:
    • Saw how a single, static connection URL automatically redirects all connected clients to a different Snowflake account during a failover, dramatically simplifying recovery and reducing RTO.

The Cohere Secure AI Frontier Model Framework

Government agencies require comprehensive AI risk management across the full model lifecycle while meeting stringent security, compliance and privacy requirements. Cohere’s Secure AI Model Framework provides a practical approach to risk identification and mitigation throughout the entire AI lifecycle, specifically designed for public sector deployment. It provides end-to-end security frameworks encompassing model development, deployment and operations with flexible deployment options (cloud, private cloud or on-premises) that prioritize data sovereignty, zero-data retention and privacy-focused models to meet federal security standards and regulatory compliance mandates.
