The lights are out and you’ve just lost the connection to your server, the internet and most importantly access to your customers, your data and the software that operates your business. What do you do? From power failures to automated cybercrime in a tough economy, every modern business faces many threats daily. Disasters are commonplace in the IT industry and solutions are built, implemented and supported to mitigate risks to businesses and end-users.

Not only is a disaster recovery plan necessary because of the new POPIA laws that are soon to be enforced, but it is also just good business management, and far too often small businesses only dedicate the time and resources to a plan after they have had a disaster that has cost them their intellectual property, their data or valuable revenue into their businesses. Cybercrime is one of the most dangerous and prolific threats facing businesses today, with ransomware attacks, in particular, proving to be a highly effective revenue-generating tool for cybercriminals and nation-states alike. For the last 3 years, ransomware has dominated the cybersecurity landscape, with businesses large and small paying millions of dollars to unlock encrypted files. In the local context, Turrito’s most common IT disaster with non-contracted (ad-hoc) customers in 2020 was Ransomware related. These are businesses that are not dedicating the time to understanding the threat posed by simple emails being opened by staff members.
