We all know disaster recovery and emergency preparedness are important parts of every company, but how often do you think about either of these things? The truth is that disaster recovery processes can't just be created and then forgotten about--and here are some alarming facts that will make you want to keep those processes at the forefront of your mind.
Threats to Your Business
When it comes to disaster recovery, there's good news and bad news. Sometimes it's easiest to start with the bad news first, so get ready: there are all kinds of threats to your business that could strike at any time.
As a wake-up call, let's take a quick look at just a few of them:
- power outages, which could wipe out unsaved work, corrupt documents, and even threaten your devices
- environmental disasters, ranging from earthquakes to floods to volcanic eruptions--all of which could prove fatal to your physical files
- online threats, including phishing, ransomware, and more, which hurt your reputation, your data, and your peace of mind
- human error, which, although usually innocent and unintended, can still cause huge problems when it comes to protecting sensitive data or securing your network.
