The Problem

Most emergency plans assume the lights go out.

Far fewer plans cover what happens when the digital systems go down. A cyber outage can come from ransomware, a cyberattack, an internet failure, a payment system disruption, or a major software outage. The power may stay on, but the systems you depend on every day stop working. This kit gives you a plan on paper, where no outage can touch it.

What Could Fail

Everything you rely on is digital

Banking
Credit Cards
Pharmacies
Hospitals
Internet
Email
Work Systems
Cloud Files
Payment Apps
Phone Networks
Business Software
Smart Home
