Prevention

Corporate data can be your most valuable and vulnerable asset. Even the best-run IT operations will inevitably face threats to mission critical data, whether internally or externally. The global distribution of corporate offices, partner and vendor relationships, and large numbers of mobile employees mean that vital data exists in many locations, creating challenges for both data security and disaster recovery. Two ways to mitigate these risks are Facility Services and Disaster Recovery planning.
