Identifying and protecting critical assets and vulnerable areas in a business has never received so much focus until the 9/11 incident. Businesses that had flourished for more than 20 years were on the brink of collapse over just one catastrophe. In fact it has been reported that "Nearly half the companies that lose their data through disaster, never re-open, and 90% are out of business within two years!" Electronic transactions and communications take place so quickly that that the amount of business lost in an hour far exceeds the toll of previous decades. Other intangible damage a company may suffer includes loss of market share, revenue and profitability, lower morale and productivity, increased employee stress, tainted public image.
