Technical Failure
A technical failure can be caused for many different situations. Most devices will fail at some point because of some kind of error.

Regular maintenance of the devices can also solve certain problems which may come apart in the future. Furthermore companies can invest in more reliable technology.

The things that can get stolen can include computers, monitors, keyboards, printers and other general equipment. This will cost the company money to replace all of this equipment.
