Building Business Resilience

Business resilience is synonymous with business success

Network and application infrastructures are foundational to business technology, and they must be highly reliable, secure, and adaptable to disruption. Yet, it has never been more challenging to realize this.

Resilience is More Important Now Than Ever

The ability to keep customers, partners, and employees securely connected to websites, external applications, enterprise networks, and internal applications at all times is paramount to business success.

External Factors

Large-scale network outages, catastrophic natural events, and pervasive cybercrime all threaten to disrupt business operations - impacting profits and brand reputation.


Internal Factors

Complex application environments, coupled with demand for faster innovation and deployment, increase the risk of error, vulnerabilities, and downtime.

Complexity Increases

  • In 2020, more than 1 billion people began to work from home, with many companies planning to allow work from home permanently.
  • U.S. online sales increased 43% YoY in September, reaching $60.4 billion
  • In 2019 there was a 24% increase in catastrophic natural disasters compared to the 10-year average
  • Global internet disruptions, including ISP, CSP, CDN, and DNS, saw an unprecedented rise, increasing by 63% in March compared with January
