22 January, 2009
Up to a third of security professionals feel that their businesses are not investing heavily enough in business continuity management (BCM) programmes, new research has shown.A study carried out by Forrester Research revealed that 32 per cent of security professionals in the UK feel that companies need to do more to prepare for unexpected future problems.
Furthermore, it noted that too great an emphasis is being placed on disaster recovery and not enough is being done to enable a company to side-step threats.
"Under economic pressure, people want to target this for cost-cutting, but the disaster or the downtime isn't going to wait for the recession to be over. It can strike at any time," Forrester analyst Stephanie Balaouras commented.
Meanwhile, PC World recently reported that it is in the best interests of UK business to maintain their IT budgets during the economic downturn, as proper disaster recovery spending could help to save a business during a crisis.
