As anyone who’s seen Back to the Future I, II and III will know, what we do today can have profound impacts on tomorrow. Or on yesterday…still not sure how that works.
In the second installment of the beloved saga, Marty sees the future consequences of his pride. He’s unable to back down from the taunt “chicken,” which leads to an accident and later job loss, poor health, and a mediocre relationship with his wife and kids.
In business, the actions we take (or don’t take) impact us in big ways. The decisions you personally make can impact colleagues and clients, too. Because we’re so dependent on one another in business, showing real integrity means making the smartest decision for the greatest benefit for ourselves, our businesses, and everyone around us.
For example, no one was preparing their business for a pandemic in 2019. The struggles of so many businesses since then has been a stark reminder to have a business continuity plan in place or risk having a lot of downtime.
Now that so many teams are working remotely and leveraging cloud-based tools, too, one of the biggest components of a business continuity plan is cybersecurity. Without giving cybersecurity its due attention, the next interruption your business experiences might be a consequence of malware or a serious data breach instead of a pandemic.
Whatever comes your way, you can stay ahead of it with the right cybersecurity partner on board. Keep reading, and instead of getting fired by fax someday, your future self can be prosperous. And we’re sure you’ll be saying, “this is how Computer St. Louis saved my business.”
