Downtime costs companies thousands of dollars each year. In addition to lost productivity, downtime can lead to lost business and opportunities. It’s crucial that companies do all they can to prevent downtime in the workplace.
Computer Viruses
Computer viruses can cause costly downtime. If viruses spread from one system to the next, the entire network can be affected. This not only affects staff ability to complete tasks, it also puts sensitive data at risk. If your business collects important data including financial information, personal contact information, and other sensitive data, you need to ensure you do all you can to prevent viruses from infecting your system.
In addition to a quality anti-virus program, you need to educate staff members to run all updates. Missing just one update puts your entire organization at risk. You also need to ensure you have data backed up in a separate location. This helps ensure you always have access to data even in the event of a cyber-attack.

Older computers experience more problems than newer models. Many older systems cannot support the updates needed to protect your system from viruses. Updating your computers can save you a lot of stress in the future.
