With mobility exploding among users in 2012, security threats are growing at the same rate as well. Worse still, they are affecting not only traditional software download and email delivery routes, but also the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you’ve implemented business continuity plan best practices in your organisation, the next logical step is to automate them. The assumption is of course that you really do have best practices in place; otherwise automation will simply help you to be wrong more efficiently. In addition, BCM automation has a way of unexpectedly bringing things [...]]]></description>

Massey University&#8217;s annual BusinesSMEasure canvassed 1000 companies across the country.

		<description><![CDATA[The idea of a business continuity plan template is intuitively seductive: you take a “one size fits all” document, tick the boxes that apply to you and then “turn the handle” to generate your BC plan.

		<description><![CDATA[From time to time, it’s instructive to look around and see what organisations are doing with business continuity. With business continuity management now an increasingly important part of good business practice, business schools are led to include this in their courses, and hopefully practise what they preach.
