Welcome to Peace of Mind, a newsletter by Zinfinity. Most technology newsletters tell you what to buy. This one tells you what to watch for.
This issue: what happens to your security investments when the power goes out. The answer is more consequential than most people expect.

New Tech Without Power Protection Is False Security
Organizations are investing heavily across physical security, cameras, access control, network upgrades, and edge infrastructure. Solid investments. But there is a gap that rarely makes it into the planning conversation. None of it works when the power drops.
A brief interruption, seconds not hours, is enough to knock systems offline, corrupt data, and create security blind spots.
A few things worth checking
- Map your critical dependencies. Know which systems must stay on and which are actually protected.
- Do not assume existing UPS coverage holds. If it has never been load-tested, it may not.
- Include power protection from day one, not as an afterthought.
- Audit runtime, not just coverage. Two minutes and thirty minutes of backup are very different tools.
Business continuity = peace of mind.
Power outages do not just shut off lights. They shut down operations. If a system needs to stay on, it needs protection.
If any of this surfaces questions about your setup, we are happy to talk it through.
What does your recovery strategy look like?
