If a virus infects my company what are the costs?

Email is a business critical tool but it also has the ability to seriously compromise an organization's activities in a number ways:

  • downtime on a critical communications tool
  • loss of confidentiality
  • loss of reputation
  • loss of productivity
  • valuable time & resources spent on disinfecting machines; and
  • irretrievable data loss.

Should a virus infect your network, the exact costs will depend on the size of the company.
