6. Threats and disruptions can vary greatly in
business impact…
• In some industries, downtime costs can equal up to 16 percent of revenue1
• For 32 percent of organizations, just four hours of downtime could be severely
damaging2
• Online security attacks are accelerating, causing downtime and loss of revenue
• Data is growing at explosive rates
• Security and resiliency are a top area of concern and spend for all size
companies
• Some industries are enforcing fines for downtime and inability to meet
regulatory compliance
• $6.6M3 = Estimated cost of a data security breach

7. Ignoring risk management is not an option
“I need to manage complexity of compliance
across my organization and silos -- and be
audit-ready all the time.”
“I need to provide access to and
recoverability of data at any time.”
“I need to protect against threats – even the ones I’m not
prepared for.”
“Lack of resources, expertise and tools to cost
effectively manage multi-vendor
environments”
How do you…?
