Hurricane season is just around the corner, but don’t forget that natural and man-made catastrophes can occur at any time. Property damage is the most common cause for interruption to normal business operation, but there are other catastrophes that can impact your company’s bottom line. How would you react if your information technology system was sabotaged? What about the risk of widespread employee illnesses?
