Most importantly, how do you share and train your staff on your organization’s best practices. Service providers and resellers need to have answers for all these questions.

​Finger-pointing is a natural consequence of breaches and system interruptions. Power failure? Component shutdown? Programming glitch? The biggest lesson organizations should learn from incidents like the British Air disruption is that they are all , at their root, caused by human error. Hardware and software are not infallible, but ‘wetware’ is the ultimate cause of every – every – disruption.

Businesses are like a standing line of dominoes. People, facilities, and technology all interacting to produce the goods and services for your customers. At any point though, an emergency can interrupt that flow and set a chain reaction similar to that of dominoes falling. Occasionally, you may get lucky: only one domino may fall. However, an emergency will set off a chain reaction bringing pieces of your business to a halt and the dominoes scattered on the ground.
