Business Continuity - DR - "Life insurance" program for your business
Your business is growing, the customers are happy, the service is excellent and apparently, the future looks rosy.
Until one day you arrive at the office and discover that you are in the middle of an "information disaster" that threatens the existence of the business.
This way you will protect your business and ensure business continuity, while minimizing the economic and image damages.
Your business, like most modern businesses, needs information infrastructures and databases in order to function.
This dependence becomes the Achilles' heel in situations where an information disaster occurs as a result of a natural disaster, a technical malfunction, an initiated cyber attack that wreaks havoc on the information systems, or the intrusion of ransomware, which encrypts the information system and immediately disables the organization's activities. Proper preparation for these scenarios will allow you to continue dealing with customers, suppliers and investors, while minimizing economic and image damage.

In a data disaster, don't just rely on the backup
Until 5 years ago, many business owners were content with backing up their business information on remote physical servers or in the cloud, believing that restoring the data would serve as a safety net in cases of data loss. But the backup has its own limitations, such as the long period of time from the occurrence of the data disaster until the business is restored to activity and the fact that the backup addresses only the data and not critical IT infrastructures that were damaged. Therefore, businesses that protect themselves with a backup system only, expose themselves to a threat scenario, in which their ability to maintain business continuity is in doubt.
Disaster Recovery - from today also in small and medium businesses
The information disaster recovery plan, which until now was adopted only by large organizations, has in recent years become accessible to small and medium-sized businesses, which benefit from customized solutions, at a reasonable cost-benefit ratio.

What is the right DR plan for your business?
A disaster recovery plan involves a structured and thorough characterization process, which is done ahead of time. In this framework, what are the essential functions for the continued functioning of the organization are defined and a prioritization is created between them: who are the critical employees whose reconnection to the system must be done as a first priority? Is the organization based on a telephone service system that needs to be brought back to life quickly? Where will the employees be placed when the physical office stops functioning? And above all, what is the maximum downtime that the organization is able to absorb until business continuity is achieved, without incurring irreversible economic or image damage.
