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.
