IT Spending and Staffing Benchmarks 2023/2024: Chapter 3B: Midsize Organization Benchmarks

Business Continuity Planning Best Practices 2024
In today’s business landscape, virtually every organization relies heavily on information technology. Therefore, restoring information systems in the event of a disaster is an essential element of risk management, not just IT.
