The era of Big Data is here. Information now exceeds fantastic proportions, globally measured in zettabytes (each zettabyte is a billion terabytes) and growing at an exponential rate that defies comprehension. According to the IDC, global data is expected to grow from 23 Zettabytes (ZB) in 2017 to 175 ZB by 2025.

In all sectors, technology has become a vital aspect of operations and has transformed the workplace, but that dependence on technologies also poses a threat to organizational wellbeing. Data breaches, system failures, malicious attacks–as well as natural disasters that impact technologies–can wreak havoc on company reputations, regulatory compliance and fiscal health.
