These are testing times for people and organizations across the globe. This emergency has forced organizations to shut offices, halt travel and left employees with no option but to work remotely. We can’t sufficiently thank the “front-line fighters” defending us against this grave threat. Our thoughts and prayers are with affected people around the world.
CIOs of many organizations are facing unfamiliar circumstances
Organizations are facing a test of resilience in these difficult times.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has pointed out that around 40 to 60% of small businesses never reopen following a disaster.
Leaders must realize that Health Pandemics (as unprecedented as the current one), Natural disasters (remember Australia bushfire?), security threats (like a ransomware attack), and other threats always remain a part of business reality; Planning for resilience must therefore always be a priority for CXOs.
There could be some of you realizing that your business continuity planning is not facilitating a smoother transition and may be slowly heading towards an emergency.
These last-minute rollouts are mounting enormous strain on already stretched IT teams and opening up doors for further risks including data breaches and other security threats. The last thing you want while avoiding a revenue loss is to expose your business to other risks such as data loss, identity threats security vulnerabilities.
It is challenging to sustain business-critical services due to the adverse impact on providers, personnel, travel restrictions and social distancing norms. Data centres, IT support services, IT Helpdesk - Everyone is affected.
