When you hear the term ‘Data Loss,’ what does it make you think? Something frightening or just an inconvenience? What if you lost your customer database, your employee healthcare information, or your organization’s website transactions? Perhaps that reveals how problematic it can be.
In today’s information-based world, data is one of the most important assets in a company’s bank account. No organization can afford to leave themselves exposed to data loss from downtime, a security breach or IT failure. While we all know that data is essential, quantifying the cost of leakage is another matter entirely.
OrionX published The Cost of Data Loss and How to Avoid It. Within it, Dan Olds looks at the factors in quantifying data loss. Ultimately, the paper shows how to ensure it doesn’t happen to your company. Here’s the executive summary:
“Almost every business is now data-driven, and many are realizing that their data is one of their most valuable assets. But how well are they protecting that data from IT problems that can cause data loss? In this report, we discuss the value of data and take a look at a readily available solution designed to protect against data loss.”
