The Reality of IT Failures – A Costly Mistake?
IT failures can strike at any time – and often, they stem from the simplest of actions. Consider this: an employee receives an email with an attachment, perhaps an image file. It looks harmless, maybe even work-related, so they download it without a second thought. Or perhaps they encounter a pop-up that seems legitimate and click on it. In an instant, malicious software infiltrates the system, spreading like wildfire, corrupting files, stealing data, and bringing operations to a grinding halt.
The Real Cost of IT Breaches
Recovering from an IT breach is not just about fixing a few computers; it’s about recovering your business. On average, a single IT breach costs around £21,000 to rectify. But what does that figure really mean for your organisation?
Lost Productivity: With systems down, your workforce grinds to a halt, leading to missed deadlines and unhappy clients.
Financial Losses: Beyond the initial £21,000, downtime can result in lost sales, penalties, and reputational damage.
Data Recovery & Compliance Fines: The cost of retrieving lost or stolen data and potential regulatory fines can quickly escalate.
Multiply these risks across your entire organisation, and the financial impact becomes staggering. The question is: can your business afford to take that risk?
