What causes an IT Disaster?
My goal in this section of my blog is to give you a clearer understanding of two types of disasters that can happen in business.
Human-made
Malware
Cyber attack
Civil unrest
Employees on strike
Accidental deletion of data
Natural Disasters
Fires
Floods
Electrical outage
Hurricane
A disaster is anything that can cause your data to disrupt, causing your business to permanently or temporarily shut down.
How to Use an IT Disaster Recovery Plan
Your Information Technology team can use the plan or you can use it to recover software and data. Some international organizations in the past ten years have had a public embarrassment because they did not have an IT Disaster Recovery Plan on file.
Imagine your bank or an airlines losing all of your information that stops you from doing something that is essential for life or business.
A disruption in business not only reduces profit in revenue while your company is shut down, but it can negatively impact your reputation.
