2025 Equipment Dealer Industry Trends Report

Security and Preparedness It’s time to think about emergency preparedness.

How prepared do you feel for the event that your dealership management system goes down?

No matter what you do to prevent interruptions to your business, things happen. From natural disasters to cybersecurity attacks, there will be times when your business system goes down. According to Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report , 14% of breaches involved the exploitation of vulnerabilities as an initial access step. This is almost 3x the amount from the previous year. That’s why it’s crucial to have a solid business continuity plan that your team can easily access in the event that your system goes down. Understand what your partner is doing to protect themselves as well as what data you have with them.
