As the experts say, it's not a matter of if a cyberattack will happen, but when. Most companies underestimate the value of a detailed contingency plan that can help them react immediately to malware, phishing, DDoS attacks and other types of online threats. Such a plan can help you react promptly and limit the damage caused by such attacks.

Why back up data if I've never lost any? Greg Bak, product development manager at data protection, backup and disaster recovery software vendor Xopero, often hears this question from businesses. "But the query should be put differently," Bak said. "Business owners should rather ask: If someone takes away my computer right now, would I be able to continue working and guarantee business continuity?"
