The Crippling Cost of Data Loss

The CRIPPLING COST of DATA LOSS Data disaster can be one of the costliest things to affect a business. While it's easy to forget or ignore the importance of a good backup and disaster recovery plan, nothing is more essential than understanding the threats all businesses face, and doing all you can to prepare for them. Not surprisingly, 93 percent of businesses said data is important or very important to business success. 93 So why aren't businesses protecting themselves... O North American enterprises without a disaster recovery plan 56 European enterprises without a disaster recovery plan 30 ...or using effective backup strategies.…. O Percentage of IT admins who do not test backup solutions 32 -O Also the percentage of IT admins who don't backup daily because they think it's a waste of time .when there are so many threats... 18 million new malware threats were found in 2013 -------- SCENE $11.5 million= Average annual cost ENE DO NOT ChNOT CROSS - CRIA of cyber-crime for US businesses SS- CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS - CRIME SCENE DO :( 99 Percentage of IT pros who have experienced hardware failure $192 billion= Global cost of natural disaster in 2013 Cost of lost business due to data breach $3 million $1.4 million $1.9 million Percentage of security breaches caused by human error 55% ...and the cost is so high? O $26.5 billion= Cost of lost revenue in North America due to downtime 6 37 million= Yearly number of lost man-hours in Europe due to downtime 6 $7,900 = Average cost for one minute of data center downtime in the US Don't be another number. Take the time to implement an effective disaster recovery plan that includes not only solid backup strategies, but a robust plan for the who, what, where, when, and how of various disaster scenarios.
