Being well-prepared is crucial to effectively tackle unexpected disruptions such as emergencies or cyberattacks. Proper planning can help minimize damage and maintain operations. This is vital for both safeguarding your business processes and ensuring IT security. Establishing an emergency plan is key to taking the right measures quickly during crises and preventing further damage.
