Businesses hoping to exit 2021 with momentum will face new challenges and evolving threats in 2022. Despite the positive strides taken in 2021, a return to normal business functions has not taken place. Stresses to supply chains, economic instability, social unrest, and health risks set the tone for the year, leaving organizations to assess their risk landscape and regroup in hopes of finding more productive ways to tackle 2022.
Business leaders today are being pushed toward the rapid adoption of technology, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic – so much so that the term ‘digital transformation’ became a major trend. While tech is vital to the success of forward-thinking companies, many investments made in the name of digital transformation are revealed to be purchases that were “technology for the sake of technology”.
In today’s increasingly digital world, organizations must balance investment in uptime and experience with capital expenditure toward ongoing innovation. More than ever before, uninterrupted digital operations are responsible for the fiscal success of companies. Yet, these digital landscapes are major areas of vulnerability to business continuity. Today’s digital service disruptions can greatly affect people, facilities, assets and a company’s brand.
The world is changing, and with great change comes an evolving threat landscape. Increases in physical and digital disruption, such as civil unrest, cyberattacks, severe weather events, and unplanned outages, have left many industries scrambling to secure a robust operational resilience strategy, including the cellular industry. Today’s evolving threat landscape poses a unique threat to cellular carriers, whose business is growing at a breakneck pace.
Maintaining stable business operations is key to keeping up with competitors and potentially surging past them when disruptions occur. Given the growing number of risks companies face today, businesses will continue to face ever-changing disruptions, and quickly acting on them requires having a solid business continuity plan (BCP) in place. Is your organization prepared to respond to the myriad of threats that have arisen in recent years?
