The Importance of Business Continuity Planning in the Face of Tech Outages

The recent CrowdStrike software outage, which disrupted several industries, serves as a powerful reminder of the critical importance of business continuity planning. Ensuring your business can withstand and quickly recover from such disruptions is essential for maintaining operations and financial stability. A key component of a robust business continuity plan is business interruption insurance. This type of policy provides a critical financial safety net during unforeseen events like natural disasters that can halt business operations. However, it’s important to note that standard business interruption policies may not cover tech outages unless there is direct physical loss or damage. For comprehensive protection against IT system failures or cyber incidents, specific cyber insurance policies can be vital. These policies often include business interruption coverage tailored for events like the CrowdStrike outage. As you evaluate your current coverage, consider these important questions: Do my current policies include business interruption coverage? What are the specific triggers and limitations of my coverage? Is my current coverage sufficient for another outage similar to CrowdStrike?
