Disaster recovery is important for all businesses, no matter what is implemented into a network it's impossible to completely avoid incidents and disasters. As most businesses almost entirely rely on the internet and network-connected devices, proper disaster recovery is paramount.

 

Current networks don't just incorporate computers, server hardware, and phones. They include thermostats, light switches, printers, refrigerators, almost everything has some form of internet connection and will be inaccessible in the event of an incident. 

 

This is why preparing for the inevitable isn't just important it's a business necessity, responding to incidents rather than preparing isn't just an ineffective solution its irresponsible. If your business fails to prepare proper backup solutions, a disaster recovery plan, or a chain of contact in the event of an incident you are only risking your business sensitive data, and client data. This can not only leave your business in a state of no return but liable for legal action if important data is lost.
