Data Protection: What’s at Risk
Your customers, contractors, employees, and supply chain are expecting your business to be up and running. There is a high expectation that you’ll always be “on”. There are a number of challenges that your company may face that can interrupt business continuity and affect brand trust. These include:
- Ransomware
- Mergers & Acquisitions
- Third-Party Supply Chain Attacks
- Natural Disasters
We go into detail about all of these scenarios and how you can put risk at the forefront of your data protection decisions.

Choosing a Data Protection Path
Planning is key to protecting your organization in the wake of an interruption. If you’ve never worked through a disaster recovery scenario, it’s vital to consider leveraging an expert partner who has. Other things to consider implementing to fully cover your data load are:
- Performing a business impact analysis
- Completing a risk assessment
- Determining the gaps in your technology or IT team abilities
- Building a recovery plan per scenario/disaster
- Testing that plan to make sure it works for your business
