|   |  | Are we protected from technological risk ? Technological risk is defined as the evaluation of all manner of impact on a company’s business continuity due to technological deficiency or irregularity. Although the elements that contribute directly to technological risk are very concrete, its effects remain subjective, and depend on the level of tolerance to risk on the part of the company’s management. Why invest in the reduction of technological risk? Contrary to general or civic liability insurance coverage, technological risk cannot be transferred to a third party in exchange for a regular payment (premium). However, technological risk is statistically much higher than other risks. An insurer can cover certain damages caused by a loss that is covered by general insurance (fire, theft, flooding, etc.), but many negative impacts on business continuity are not covered. Here are some sources of technological risks that are not covered by insurance, with their effects on the company | | | | | | | | | | | Infection of one or more workstations or servers by a virus, Trojan, worm or other type of computer infection | | Equipment slowdown, inaccessibility, inoperability or data erasure | | |  | | | | Erasure or deletion of data by users | | Investment of time to find and reinstate one or more files | | |  | | | | Power outages and variations | | Any electrical variation can affect the future stability of equipment and increase the risk of physical breakdown | | |  | | | | Unexpectedly reaching the limit of a hardware resource (processors, memory, hard disk space) | | Slowdown or paralysis of server usage at any time | | |  | | | | Undesirable intrusion by an external user | | Spying, theft or destruction of confidential or sensitive data | | |  | | | | Remote access by unauthorized users | | No control over network access by former employees | | |  | | | | Local access by unauthorized users | | No control over access to confidential or sensitive corporate data | | |  | | | | Freezing or physical breakdown of equipment | | Inaccessible or inoperative equipment | | |  | | | | | | | Oriso offers a complete analysis of your technological risk, and evaluates the best technological choices and procedures that should be put in place to reduce this risk. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  | | |  | |  |  | | | On January 1, 2007, Oriso officially launched its new outsourcing and hosting service, “iGOvirtual™”, on the www.igovirtual.com website.
