Do You Have An Emergency Backup Plan?

Published December 13, 2017

In today’s world, while there are numerous steps one can take to protect themselves online; there are only so many steps one can take to protect the company and it’s data. Even the “safest” sites can still be infiltrated or become impaired due to failure.

With so much business done online susceptible to hackers, or just plain equipment malfunction, or failure; it’s more essential than ever to make sure every business has an emergency backup plan in place.

Company Email:

• Do you have a plan in place if someone’s email downloads malware or a virus?
• Are these steps readily noted so employees don’t spread the virus to other employees, or worse yet, a client?

Company Network:

• What if your company network were hacked and held for ransom?
• Do you have steps and protocol in place?

Company Online Assets (website, social medias, etc):

• How would you handle catastrophic failure of online assets?
• Do you have multiple backups of data?
• Are backups stored securely away from the asset being protected?

These are just a few of the scenarios that every business must address and prepare for. Hope for the best with proper security, but plan and prepare for the worst potential failure of company assets, and create a plan through the scenario.
