IT Recovery Readiness: A Matter of When, Not If
Ransomware has single-handedly elevated the C-Suite understanding of the strategic importance of business continuity. What used to be a “Fortune 50” problem, now plagues organizations of every size, vertical and type.
Why? It’s safer, easier, bigger, and more profitable than the world-wide drug trade. For a small effort, hackers can get big returns. They do not care that even if you pay up (and the decryption key they provide works) a lot of carnage remains. The costs of downtime, reputation, lost business, and emergency IT response eclipses the ransom fee. And don’t think that cyber insurance policy will help when you need it most. Getting your systems back online is not their priority. Assessing if it was an avoidable claim, is their focus.

The good news? Your leadership team wants to address business continuity and IT recovery strategies. Data protection in real time and proactive Return to Operations are “the new black”. Documenting the RTO requirements makes it easier to identify (and fund) the technologies needed.
