Give your Company Cyber Resilience in 2012

Dominika Jankowska — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:04:44 +0000

All organisations face business continuity risks. Consider: 80% of organisations with a tried and tested business continuity plan are likely to survive a major business discontinuity; only 20% of those without a business continuity plan are likely to survive, Over 90% of organisations that suffer a significant data loss are not in business two years later, The Business Continuity Institute's 2005 survey indicates that 30% of businesses still don't have a business continuity plan, The data indicates that many of the existing plans are not comprehensive and that maintenance (testing and updating) is generally inadequate, 'Backup' is not the same as a business continuity plan, and terrorism should be specifically addressed
