Server Failure and Power Blackout (Managers)

00:07 What level of security do your servers have? I received an answer the other day.

00:12 Our servers are safe because they are kept in the basement.

00:15 Nobody has access to them since they are kept away.

00:19 That is not always the case.

00:21 Economic espionage comes to mind when we think about Internet crime.

00:25 However, there may be hackers whose sole purpose is to cripple your organization, your corporation. So the aim is not your data, but your infrastructure.

00:35 Small businesses, in particular, undervalue this catastrophic failure.

00:40 In the end, it may even endanger your life.

00:44 There are viruses and trojans, as well as sabotage and infiltration.

00:49 However, DDoS assaults occur when numerous computers attack your servers at the same time. In these instances, we are discussing bot networks, but there are also acts of God.

00:59 There have been lightning strikes.

01:01 There have been floods.

01:02 There are forest fires, and there are fires that jump from one building to the next.

01:08 However, your server room could catch fire even if there is no forest fire, such as when a hard disk overheats.

01:16 Then there are software and hardware issues, as well as the human aspect.

01:23 When people commit mistakes, this can lead to server problems and, on rare occasions, a power outage. What happens if there is a power outage? Although improbable, if you live in an afflicted area, this might have an immediate impact on your business.

01:46 The office lights go out, the registers crash, the machines stop, and the entire production shuts down.

01:53 A blackout might last several hours in some firms.

01:58 Is your organization equipped with an emergency power generator, such as a diesel-powered secondary current? And what happens when this system needs to be powered up? It can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.

02:13 An uninterruptible power supply, or UPS, can be useful in certain situations.

02:19 It runs on batteries and primarily safeguards critical electronics like servers, computers, and telephone systems.

02:29 The battery-powered mechanism keeps us safe until the diesel engine kicks in.

02:34 There are numerous solutions and combinations.

02:37 You must determine the best approach for your firm.

02:41 Companies, including yourself, must clearly explain where the hazards are, what the basic threats are, what organizational flaws exist, and where the human aspect plays an especially essential role.

02:57 How do we deal with technical errors, and how can we avoid them? We require well-defined processes, structures, and roles, all of which must be defined. We require well-defined processes and structures.

03:15 We require defined responsibilities and information.
