“Based on the current trends of backup initiatives, Gartner predicts that by 2018, 50% of organizations will replace their current backup application. By 2017, the number of organizations using the cloud as a backup destination will double to 25%. Luckily, there are several procedures that you can put in place before disaster strikes.

Have a strategic disaster recovery plan in place. This can help you avoid costly mistakes. The best strategies will incorporate your infrastructure, processes and staff.

Provide custom training to both your business and technical staff. Work with your staff to ensure they have a thorough understanding of all processes and procedures in place in the event of a disaster.

Conduct an impact analysis to find a balance between your budget and the level of protection that your organization needs.

Identify any problem areas that either occurred or have the potential for disrupting your organization.

Share your plan with your employees and review it regularly.

Test your disaster recovery plan periodically to ensure it is in alignment with your organization’s changing needs. Despite the importance of disaster recovery plan testing, most organizations overlook this step. Even when plans are tested almost 75% fail.

A well thought out, proactive disaster recovery and business continuity plan can save you money, stress, and time in unfortunate event of a system failure.

Working with ATS is a breath of fresh air. ATS takes our information security concerns seriously and advises us how to avoid potential pitfalls with both hardware and software. We are beyond thrilled with ATS and only wish we had selected them a year earlier.

ATS has been our trusted partner in recent upgrades we have made to our IT infrastructure and cyber security. Their account management, project management, and technical teams have all provided top-notch service, guiding us to make informed decisions, managing timelines for multiple projects, and most of all, listening to our needs and making recommendations based on our unique work environment. During the transitions, they have kept us operating smoothly and provided quick and helpful support through their Help Desk.

I just wanted to take a moment to reach out and thank you for the excellent service you and your team have provided with the hosted SEIM solution. AlienVault is great, but the real value comes from your partnership. The appliance would not do nearly as much for us without your monitoring and consulting services. You have always been on top of things and there for us whenever there is an incident. I feel confident in that our network is secure and I am able to report that our board and clients with full assurance.
