RESPOND TO THE NEXT

Can your healthcare system stop you getting Coronavirus (19), NO. But they can provide you the resilience, via vaccines, to recover from the virus better the next time you are infected.?
Visible to the world or not, they are happening – cyber incidents. There is a need to up your cyber resilience (active data protection and recovery), allowing you to respond to the next incident. It will come.
If you have been one of the unfortunate organisations to incur an incident recently, you’ll currently be undertaking incident response and proactive risk management activities to understand what happened, how the malware got in and how you can strengthen your security tools and detection resources to do better next time. Excellent.
But what happened to your operations during the incident?
You most likely incurred an impact to your operations, data accessibility, applications and devices.?
Did you recover your operations in a recovery time that met your digital operations SLA?
Well, if you were the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina, UK NHS 111 or New York Racing Association your operations were severely disrupted, not to mention the likes of Optus Telecom, Revolut and Uber that are now having to explain to their customers what happened to their data during their recent breaches.
Will this post help you stop the [future] attack??
Sorry, that’s cyber security, not cyber resilience. I'll leave that for the smart security vendors.
Can I help your cyber resilience and stop your data being stolen and/or compromised, and ensure that you can bring your devices back online instantly or within an appropriate digital recovery time objective (RTO)?
Definitely.
Why have you not heard of this technology?
Because your time is scarce and everyone believes that all the innovation across traditional backup & recovery and immutable storage, MS VSS and promises of $1m insurance paybacks are your saviour.??
But the reality is, active data protection and recovery hasn’t moved forward since the days when its primary objective was non-time sensitive disaster recovery and business continuity.
Ask the CISOs/CTOs/CIOs of the organisations I listed previously, and they’ll tell you Cyber Resilience (data protection and recovery) needs to do better!
Contact me and let me tell you about NeuShield and its Mirror Shield technology.
I won't tell you the incident you incurred [or could be next] wouldn't have happened on my watch with NeuShield; I'll show how you can increase your cyber resilience and maintain operations during and after the attack.
Thanks for reading, stay safe

1 年Nice!
Definitely a people, process and tech approach to resilience. Critical that organisations invest in this area.

2 年“You don’t want to start thinking about cybersecurity after your network has been brought down by a ransomware operator.” Another reason why Cyber Resilience needs to be on an equal balance with Cyber Security. https://www.wsj.com/articles/companies-should-treat-cyber-threats-as-core-business-risk-u-s-cyber-official-says-11663701802

2 年Kevin, Well done! great analogy, diminishing collateral damage is always the better strategy then trying to defeat the inevitable.

2 年Great analogy Kevin Bailey! Another one would be a natural disaster like an earthquake or a wildfire (we get those out here in California, the price we pay for nice weather). You can build the sturdiest structures, do the best forest management ...but everyone still has a plan (or should) on what to do if you're hit despite your best efforts. Why wouldn't companies take this same attitude, especially when we are seeing such an increase in ransomware attacks?
