IS YOUR NETWORK SHATTERPROOF?

​

Businesses want to ask themselves some key questions to evaluate the overall strength of their current levels of cyber defense:

​

​

Could your business withstand a power outage?

 

Power outages interrupt operations at 72% of U.S. businesses. (Contingency Planning & Management)

​

 

Is your network up and running 100% of the time? 

​

A recent study in the U.S. has shown that across all business sectors, an estimated $164 billion is lost due to interruptions. (2005 whitepaper by APC)

 

​

Is someone monitoring your systems 24x7?

 

Most outages, both network and power, occur outside of typical business hours.

​

 

Are issues identified and handled proactively, or only after they become catastrophic? 

 

System administrators will spend at least 3x as long figuring out the problem compared to actually fixing it.

​

 

Are all of your off and on-site systems monitored after hours? ​

 

Off-hour failures (application, operating system, hardware) can go unnoticed for lengthy periods without supervision
