Let's face it, there are many threats your business faces every day. If it's not a system failure, it's weather. If it's not weather then its a cyber-attack. If its not a cyber-attack, its a fire. If it's not a fire, it's a disgruntled employee. The list is endless but the solutions are finite. You have to undertake some level of Emergency Preparedness if you want to survive.
