Digitalisation brings great benefits, but it also makes us more dependent on IT than ever before. What happens when the technology we rely on suddenly fails?
A growing concern for managers
According to recent research, a large number of managers worry about the possibility of an IT blackout: a situation where crucial systems suddenly become unavailable and entire business processes grind to a halt.
Why is that concern so great? The impact of an IT blackout can be far-reaching: from lost revenue and reputational damage to legal problems. In the worst case, companies can even go bankrupt.
Possible causes
It is useful to look at the possible causes of such a blackout:
- Insufficient protection against cyberattacks, the highest risk.
- Software errors or bugs, also considered very risky.
- Power supply failures.
- Human error.
The research shows that many companies are not well prepared for such a situation. IT infrastructure is often complex and systems are not always designed for fast recovery procedures. As a result, downtime and system failures cause more damage than necessary.
