Business Continuity
The Challenge
What Will You Do If ….
Your main server crashed and the backup failed? Equipment or utilities failed long-term? A natural disaster struck, destroying information and physical assets? Malicious software or spyware destroyed your data? You experienced application failure or database corruption? Someone hacked your firewall, crashing your system and stealing classified data? These are just a few of the common “disasters” that can threaten the future of your business.
Statistics from Gartner Group indicate that out of organisations who suffer a serious incident, for which they were unprepared, 80% went out of business within 18 months.
