For an organization to be resilient, its systems, data and workflows have to be resilient. And, in this era of digital transformation, that is impossible without resilience in our cyber infrastructures.
In simple terms, the need to minimize downtime is urgent because it costs in money, reputation and, often, even staff morale. Every second that your systems are offline is one second of you being unable to support your customers, sell your products or deliver your services.
Cybersecurity is designed around keeping your systems safe, and disaster recovery is the way to mitigate against loss when all other means have failed. In turn, moving your disaster recovery to the cloud introduces increased efficiency, automation and streamlining.
From hacking and cyber-attacks to physical disasters and unforeseen power grid disruptions, the threat vector for companies is far-reaching and calls for proactive, strategic defenses.
However, operations resilience is a multi-layered approach. Real-time protection is certainly important, but it is key for organizations to also have a thorough disaster recovery plan in place, to be able to reinstate systems, data, and workflows as soon as possible, with the least amount of disruption.
Every minute of downtime costs in revenue, customer satisfaction, as well as brand image.
Your organization’s contingency planning could take many forms, dependent on your sector, business model, revenue, number of employees and a range of other factors.
However, one aspect this figurative safety net ought to always address is your digital infrastructure, your IT systems and your data.
In the 21st century, with operations relying on virtual elements and customers expecting more than ever from you, you cannot afford to operate without a business contingency plan. Otherwise, you would be at the mercy of circumstance. Time and again, research into management and IT department concerns about IT infrastructure has shown just how catastrophic downtime can be.
