Cybersecurity Architecture Risks: Is your business prepared for a global system outage?
As organizations continue to digitize, automate, and adopt cloud technologies, they further increase their dependency on security vendors to support and run their critical security and business processes. In the event of a global information technology (IT) outage, critical services that support economic stability and public safety can be severely disrupted. In many cases, these services include critical sectors such as transportation, health care, government services, and telecommunications among others. These disruptive events highlight the need for organizations to consider widespread IT outages when building their security architecture, mapping IT dependencies to critical business processes, updating incident response and disaster recovery plans, and refreshing third-party risk management strategies.
