SMB USE CASE

Use Case: Disruption Readiness

(Cyberattack, System Outage, Natural Disaster, Severe Weather)

Disruptions don’t wait until you’re ready. Whether it’s a cyberattack, power outage, flood, or hurricane, small businesses face risks that can halt operations overnight. According to FEMA, 40% of small businesses never reopen after a major disaster, and another 25% fail within one year.

The cost of downtime isn’t just financial, it damages customer trust, disrupts supply chains, and threatens long-term survival.

The Challenge

  • Cyberattacks: Ransomware and phishing are increasingly targeting small businesses, often with devastating effects.

  • System Outages: Even a few hours of downtime can mean lost sales, missed deadlines, and unhappy clients.

  • Natural Disasters: Severe weather events are becoming more frequent and more costly, hitting SMBs without backup plans the hardest.

  • Uncertainty: Without a clear playbook, owners and employees scramble under pressure, leading to costly mistakes.
