Redundant systems are crucial for several reasons:
1. Data Integrity: Ensuring the accuracy and completeness of data is fundamental. Redundant systems can cross-verify and validate data, reducing the risk of errors. 2. Continuity of Operations: In the event of a system failure, redundant systems provide a backup, ensuring that epidemiological surveillance and response efforts continue without interruption. 3. Enhanced Response: Redundant systems enable swift and accurate responses to public health threats by providing multiple streams of data and analysis. 4. Resilience Against Cyberattacks: With the increasing threat of cyberattacks, redundant systems can protect against data breaches and loss.
