SMBs Not Prepared For Disasters, Don't Act Until It's Too Late

摘要

Symantec has announced the findings of its 2011 SMB Disaster Preparedness Survey, which measured the attitudes and practices of small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and their customers toward disaster preparedness.The survey findings show that though SMBs are at risk, they're still not making disaster preparedness a priority until they experience a disaster or data loss. The data also reveals that the cost of not being prepared is high, putting SMBs at risk of going out of business. According to the survey, downtime not only costs SMBs thousands of dollars, it also causes customers to leave.
