| Summary |
What would you do if your systems were hacked or compromised by a virus? How would your IT systems cope in the event of flooding or an explosion? What if your IT systems simply stopped working? IT has brought many benefits to business. However, IT failures can seriously damage your ability to deliver products and services, harm your company's reputation, and jeopardise your relationship with your customers. In short, poorly managed IT problems could threaten the survival of your business. If you want to protect your business, you need to put in place a business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) plan to help your business survive. This book is a quick guide for organisations and business managers that shows you how to develop a plan that will: keep your information safe, safeguard your company from viruses and phishing scams, store data safely, and prevent years of work from being lost by accident, ensure your communication links are secure, and keep you connected when disaster strikes, bomb-proof your data and protect your data in the event of fire or flood |
