Business Continuity
Tip
Know Your Route
Whether it's a building
evacuation due to a fire or a city evacuation due to hurricane, know your

In the event of an emergency, stairwells, exits and/or roads may be blocked.

You Need to Go Beyond the Basics
used with the permission from Symantec
 Just
how quickly are enterprises adopting mobile applications?
Very, very quickly.
According to one recent survey, as many as 71% of organizations are
using, or planning to use custom mobile applications.
"We have reached a tipping point in the business use of mobile
devices," concludes Symantec's
2012 State of Mobility Survey. "Most organizations are making
line-of-business applications available [to mobile devices]."
The reasons for this, of course, are clear: Businesses want to
improve agility, increase workplace effectiveness, and take less
time to accomplish business-critical tasks.

Gives You One Less Thing to Worry About
used with
permission from HP Technology at Work
 When
a business€s data is compromised, it€s just a matter of time
before things begin to fall apart. As a result, the
importance of having a business continuity plan in place is
never clearer than during times like these. Sometimes known
as a disaster recovery plan, a business continuity plan not
only prepares your business for how to protect its data, but
also how to prepare itself in the event of a catastrophic
power failure or natural disaster.
As far as protecting your business is concerned, a business
continuity plan is also the least expensive option for small
companies because it costs virtually nothing to produce.
Utilizing tools such as HP Business Continuity and Recovery
Services, and putting the plan into practice, will
dramatically improve your chances of continuing operations
during a significant event.

Malware
Before the Damage is Done
used with
permission from HP Technology at Work
 The
proliferation of mobile devices has given cybercriminals a
vast and growing new ecosystem to work with. And they€re
starting to take advantage of that opportunity. According to
McAfee€s Threats Report: Fourth Quarter 2011, the number of
mobile malware samples jumped from less than 150 in the
third quarter of 2011 to well over 400 in the fourth
quarter.
€Cybercriminals are going for [mobile] because people put a
lot of identifying information on their devices,€ says Karim
Hijazi, Founder and CEO of Unveillance, an IT security
intelligence provider. €But that€s a scary mistake because
devices are actually more vulnerable."
