It always starts the same way.
The sky darkens. Alerts flash across the screen. Weather anchors speak faster. And suddenly, what felt like a routine Tuesday becomes a scramble for flashlights, bottled water, and—if you’re a business owner—answers.
Your team messages in a panic:
“The internet is down.”
“Can we still access the files remotely?”
“Is our data backed up?”
It’s in that moment—just before the wind picks up and the lights go out—that many leaders realize their hurricane preparedness plan isn’t as solid as they hoped.
We’ve seen this story play out again and again. At Aurora InfoTech, we’ve helped Orlando businesses navigate the aftermath of hurricanes where the physical storm was only half the battle. The other half? Data loss, extended downtime, cyberattacks, and reputational damage—all preventable with the right plan in place.
Storms Don’t Just Damage Buildings—They Break Business Systems
While boards can shield your windows, they can’t shield your servers.
Hurricanes in Orlando, FL are unpredictable, but your IT infrastructure and Cybersecurity shouldn’t be. Without cloud-based backups, redundant internet, and secure remote access, one storm can wipe out more than power—it can pause your business entirely.
Even more concerning, cybercriminals are watching. Disasters often trigger a wave of targeted phishing emails, spoofed emergency alerts, and ransomware attacks. They know your team is distracted. They count on it.
What Hurricane Resilience Looks Like for SMBs
True resilience is quiet. It’s the law firm that keeps taking client calls while the rain pours. The medical office that accesses patient records from the cloud while the streets flood. The logistics company that tracks shipments while competitors are offline.
These businesses had something in common:
- A tested business continuity plan
- Encrypted off-site backups
- Failover internet and power
- 24/7 Cybersecurity monitoring
They didn’t rely on luck. They relied on preparation.
The Window to Prepare Is Now
Too often, we get the call after the damage is done:
“We thought our backups were working.”
“We didn’t test our recovery plan.”
“Can you help us get back online?”
Yes, we can. But wouldn’t you rather be the business that never went down in the first place?
At Aurora InfoTech, we bring years of hands-on experience helping businesses stay protected—through hurricanes, cyberattacks, and the unexpected. We know the stress, the stakes, and the solutions.
