THE COST THAT NEVER SHOWS UP IN THE REPORT
When the operation stops, the company does not just stop billing: it turns into a cost center.
How many days can your company hold out with the computers down, still paying the full payroll, without a single sale recorded?
Downtime is the period when a company's systems are unavailable, interrupting sales, service and access to data. During that window the payroll keeps running, and every idle employee is now paid not to produce. Market research shows that an outage is no rare exception: about 30% of companies have already faced one to eight hours of downtime, and another 27% have faced eight to forty hours, according to N-able surveys. Most leaders only discover the size of that bill after their first incident. And the most common trigger of that outage is a single email: a phishing that steals a password, or an attachment that installs the ransomware that holds the data hostage, enough to bring everything to a halt.

Answer a few quick multiple-choice questions. The calculation runs instantly, in your browser, and no data is sent at this stage.
WHY THE BILL IS BIGGER THAN IT LOOKS
The number above is only the first front: an outage charges on three at once
The calculator shows the revenue that stops coming in. In a real incident, three other bills add to it and grow together, and most companies only see them after the shock.
While the systems are down, you keep paying the team that cannot work. This cost runs in parallel to the lost revenue and nearly doubles the weight of every hour of downtime.
Bringing everything back online has its own cost: technical hours, data rebuilding and, in an attack, the pressure of a ransom. It is the bill no one budgets for, and it arrives right after the incident.
A customer who learns about an outage or a leak may simply not come back. Trust takes years to rebuild, never shows on a spreadsheet, and is usually the most expensive cost of all.
THE ZAMAK METHOD
Zamak Managed Continuity: from prevention to proven recovery
The result for you is straightforward: when an incident happens, your company is back up in the shortest possible time and with predictability, without depending on the goodwill of whoever attacked you.
AI-powered monitoring and defense, around the clock
We watch your systems in an automated way, 24 hours a day, with an advanced defense that recognizes and blocks suspicious behavior in real time, to contain threats before they turn into an outage.
Isolated, tested backup with military-grade encryption
We keep copies of your data isolated from your network and protected by military-grade encryption, and we validate restoration with regular tests, turning the assumption that the backup works into documented proof.
Recovery in the shortest time, without paying any ransom
When the worst happens, we restore your operation from intact copies, in the shortest possible time and with predictability, without depending on the goodwill of whoever attacked you.
You contract stability, not incident response. In the Managed model, our result depends on keeping your operation running, which is why we invest so that an outage is no longer a threat to the survival of your business.
WHAT IF NOTHING CHANGES?
The risk will not wait for you to get ready
Today's attacks do not choose their victim by name, but by how easy it is: automated systems scan the internet for companies with weak defenses. Companies of every size are targets, and ransomware (data hostage) appeared in the majority of breaches analyzed in the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report 2025.
The global average cost of a data breach reached $4.44 million in 2025 (IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report), a figure few companies can absorb without shaking the operation. The gap between the incident and the recovery is where the future of the business is decided, and it is prepared before the crisis, not during it. Every day postponed is one more day in which that number can become reality.
