Understanding and Mitigating Risk in a Digital World - How to Adopt New Strategies to Enhance Business Continuity Do we live in a riskier world? You better believe it. And, that risk comes at a serious price. Recent reports show that the average cost of network downtime is around $5,600 per minute; or around $300,000 per hour.
