The ending of one year and the beginning of the next is the traditional time for reflection and reevaluation, just as much so in the technology arena as anywhere else. It's the time of year when you're almost obligated to take a good hard look backward at what's worked and what hasn't, and to look forward to consider the changes you'll be wanting to make. At Red Level, we're seeing this introspection lead to some interesting shifts in priorities. In particular, we noticed that as 2015 drew to an end, more and more of our clients were taking security and business continuity questions very seriously. The inquires we received and the conversations we were having were tending to focus more and more on measures designed to ensure the sanctity of critical business information, and the survivability of the business in the event of unforeseen catastrophic events.
