What is a Disaster in the IT world?

When most people think of disasters they think of the natural kind, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados or floods. People rarely consider day to day or man-made occurrences such as faulty hardware or software, fraud, facility inaccessibility, perhaps even sabotage, as potential business interrupting events. The truth is the man-made disasters are the most frequent and most costly causes of business interruptions and losses.

In a world that depends on IT equipment and software, internet or connectivity, electricity and continuous data movement for businesses to run effectively, companies cannot afford to overlook the need to have a disaster recovery plan in place. So what is a “Disaster” in the IT world?

Here are just a few:

  • Corrupted Data
  • No data back up
  • Loss of power
  • Water spillage
  • Fire
  • Computer Viruses
  • Telecommunications failure
  • Sabotage/fraud
