Carl Woerndle talks about how cyber attacks brought down his IT provider.

Businesses need to think about the unthinkable when it comes to cyber threats. If your entire IT infrastructure was hacked into and corrupted tomorrow, how long would it take to rebuild? How long before employees could get back to work? How long before you could trade again? Would your business survive an extinction-level event? 

In the first episode of the Lenovo ThinkFWD CIO Series, Carl Woerndle tells the chilling tale of the series of cyber attacks that leveled his major hosting business Distribute.IT in 2011. Carl also shares the key lesson he took from the experience - one that will serve as a sobering wake-up call for any CIO or IT professional concerned about cybersecurity.
