From the Paper:

" The need to prepare for disaster recovery from a computer perspective cannot be underestimated or overlooked. The urgency is real. A virus or malicious hacker can cripple and destroy a computer system. It is a worst case scenario that we don't want to think about, but by acknowledging its reality and possibility we can fully protect ourselves against its occurrence. Research unequivocally asserts that the end result of disaster can mean chaos and uncertainty for the business owner, employees, and customers. Further, human created disasters are virtually unavoidable. At some point, one will occur such as malicious hacking or unknowingly downloading a powerful virus that can cripple your data and network system."
