Purpose
This paper aims to deal with disaster and recovery systems, introducing the catastrophe matrix as a disaster‐preventing tool.
Design/methodology/approach
A new model is proposed which is proved to be a classical assignment problem. It is solved based on well‐known optimization methods. Research is presented for the danger risk of the system and a fully automated recovery system with a minimum cost is presented.
Findings
Research accepts the fact that a catastrophe has already been activated on the system.
Research limitations/implications
The difficulty of solving the proposed model of the threat and countermeasures still remains.
Originality/value
The proposed models show a new original way to confront dangers and overcome the existing classical models based on risk management.
