Business has become increasingly dependent on computers to survive on a day-to-day basis. If these systems become unavailable for a significant period or if the integrity of the data they process is prejudiced, the very survival of the organizations which depend on them may be at serious risk. No busy manager likes to spend time contemplating the worst which could befall the company and anyway, disasters happen infrequently and always to someone else.
