According to recent statistics from the ATT 2006 Business Continuity Study:

  • 28 percent of US-based companies do not have adequate plans in place to cope with natural or other potential disasters.
  • In the wake of Katrina, more companies consider business continuity planning to be a priority, but a significant number still do not see its relative importance.
  • For those companies hit with recent disasters, 9 percent indicated that it cost about $500,000 a day or more in repairs and loss of business, which translates to a loss of $2.5 million a week, if normal business operations cannot be restored.
  • Viruses, worms, and spyware remain the most significant perceived threat to organizational cyber security – and by a significant margin.
