What Can Cause a Disruption to My Business?
Disruption to your business, where the loss of data or contact with your clients that would put your business in jeopardy of failing, can come from many areas.

Virtual attacks could destroy data that may not be recoverable from your current storage setup. A natural disaster may require your employees to work from home because of damage or destruction to your buildings.
