ICT has become the platform for business, and yet many organisations fail to protect their ICT systems\u2014and the business processes that use them\u2014from disaster.<\/p>\n

The very real threat of data breaches and cyber-attacks add a new dimension of risk and demand a proper response from responsible companies and their boards\u2014as mandated by King IV. \u00a0The Business Continuity Institute\u2019s Cyber Resilience Report revealed that two-thirds of organisations surveyed had experienced at least one cybersecurity incident during the previous year, and 15 percent had experienced 10 or more.<\/p>\n

And yet, many companies delay in setting up an alternative recovery site and continue to use outdated and unreliable tapes to back up data and systems\u2014only to discover they cannot recover once disaster strikes. Key reasons for this dereliction include expense or lack of management expertise.<\/p>\n

Cloud hosting is changing all this, by making it easy to access leading-edge business continuity and resilience services as needed. As the leading supplier of such services to the African continent, ContinuitySA is the flagbearer of this new approach. We leverage abundant, affordable bandwidth and our extensive network of data centres to provide Disaster Recovery as a Service and Backup as a Service.\u00a0 This means we can offer automated replication of data and failover to a recovery site as a service\u2014no upfront capital costs, no loss of management focus, and a solution that is tested and guaranteed to work when you need it.<\/p>\n
