We all use software that is built on a foundation of strangers’ work. Even if you hire a developer to write a custom application, software calls trigger functions that were previously programmed by someone else. This means code weaknesses — put there either accidentally (like from mistyping) or maliciously by a criminal — end up in many different kinds of software. And these weaknesses can be exploited by criminals … [6 min. read]
If you have an internal IT staff, those people may often be stuck dealing with day-to-day ‘putting out fires’ – like answering, ‘why can’t I print this?’ or ‘I erased a file.’ And then occasionally the IT staff has to deal with something really going wrong – like a hardware failure or cybercriminal disruption.
The staff also has to stay up-to-date with patching vulnerabilities and fulfilling regulations and industry compliancies, and similarly meeting the demands of a cybersecurity insurance policy.
These issues keep many internal teams from having the space to think about IT proactively. Dealing with issues limits anyone’s ability to stand back and see the whole picture.

If employees cannot access files or applications to do their work, organizations feel the pain of lost revenue and low employee morale. It may also be felt by clients, vendors and prospects who may question the organization’s fitness.
Online calculators can help you estimate the cost of downtime for your organization. Roughly an organization with twenty-five employees and an average revenue/employee of $100/hour means a $2,500 loss per hour of downtime. If your organization has 10TB of data backed up locally, the backup might take 40 hours to be restored. That means the cost of the downtime is $2,500 x 40 = $100,000.
And this is why business continuity as we talk about it in the IT world has been so highly prized … [5 min. read]

These six were chosen because these items do the essential work that keeps an organization going despite the many threats every business faces.
