System Configuration

Misconfigured systems and networks can create security vulnerabilities, cause downtime, and disrupt essential operations.

Natural Disasters

Floods, fires, and other natural disasters can physically damage IT infrastructure, leading to data loss and prolonged service interruptions.

Hardware Failure

Hardware malfunctions and software crashes can result in significant downtime, data corruption, or complete data loss.

Internal Threats

Disgruntled employees or accidental internal actions can lead to unauthorized data access, breaches, or permanent deletion of sensitive information.
