Business Continuity is a strategy of maintaining a duplicate business computer network environment to be accessed immediately following a cyber event such as a hacker attack, a rogue file-deleting employee, or natural disaster.
Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery in the event of a natural disaster, employee error or hacker attack is only a small part of Business Continuity. Proper controls over internet use and access as well as having professionally structured cybersecurity measures in place, all contribute to a resilient business computer network.
Backups
Backing up your company’s critical software and data can save an exorbitant amount of employee time to recreate documents and files and can virtually eliminate company downtime if the correct solutions and IT professionals are in place in the event of a cyber attack or natural disaster.
Internet
Internet is the bloodline of all business communication nowadays and is also a critical tool to ensure Business Continuity. While the internet may be down in the event of a natural disaster, using the internet to push operations critical backups to an off-site, independent server (the cloud) will allow your team to access critical business data.
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity requires a multi-layered approach combining hardware, software, education and training, and a professional IT consultant to keep you abreast of what your business needs to stay ahead of today’s cyber threat climate.
