AT&T survey looks at the business continuity plans of Los Angeles companies  For the sixth consecutive year, AT&T has polled IT executives at companies with more than $10 million in annual revenue in the Los Angeles metropolitan area to determine their views on disaster planning and business continuity trends.
Cyber security is still a top worry. One-quarter (26 percent) of the respondents indicated that concern over viruses and worms is most likely to keep them up at night. Worry over natural disasters came in a close second (21 percent), followed by security breaches (18 percent), man-made disasters (15 percent), and corporate/eCommerce sites crashing (11 percent). Three out of four (77 percent) Los Angeles executives indicate that cyber security is part of their overall business continuity plan. While two-thirds of the surveyed Los Angeles companies have business continuity plans, only half (56 percent) have updated their plans in the past 12 months (or 21 percent in the past six to 12 months) and just one-third (38 percent) have tested them during the same time period (past 12 months).
