Why Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Is More Than a Checklist

More than 40 percent of all companies that experience a disaster never reopen their doors for business. How well would your organization recover from a crisis or disaster that could disrupt your company’s operations? With the vast array of digital and physical threats businesses face, it is essential for companies to have a business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) plan in place.
Forsythe FOCUS magazine has collected information from a variety of sources about BC/DR to show the importance of this topic in today’s 24/7 world.
Consider these facts when you read the infographic below:
-
93 percent of companies have executed disaster recovery plans.
