Overview

IT has brought many benefits to business. However, IT failures can seriously damage your ability to deliver products and services, harm your company’s reputation, and jeopardise your relationship with your customers. In short, poorly managed IT problems could threaten the survival of your business.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity shows you how to develop a plan that will:

• keep your information safe in the face of systems failure
• safeguard your company from viruses, phishing scams and accidental data loss
• ensure your communication links are secure, and help you stay connected when disaster strikes.
