Many small and mid-size enterprise organizations find themselves struggling to establish a business continuity plan that allows them to deal with an unforeseeable event that could prevent them from keeping their operations up and running. Cost and complexity are the dominant obstacles for organizations not developing a business continuity plan.

Most disasters are difficult to predict and can onset in seconds. The average business owners is unable to pick up their business and run from a natural disaster such as a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, or wildfire. You can educate employees about the risk of opening unfamiliar emails or clicking unknown links, but it only takes one wrong click to launch a cyberattack on your organization.

Your business continuity plan cannot be based on simply preventing a disaster or cyberattack. An effective business continuity plan must include a schedule for frequent backups, geo-redundant backup locations, and the ability to rapidly failover, or rollback to uncontaminated data.
