Why it matters

In security the story is rarely the attack. It is the time between the intrusion and somebody noticing. That number says more about an organisation than any certificate hanging on the reception wall.

I separate technical risk from business risk, because they do not always match. A critical vulnerability in an isolated system matters less than a medium one in the system that issues invoices. Prioritising by severity without looking at where the money is is an expensive way to work hard and protect little.

What usually goes wrong

What I see fail most is the backup. It is configured, it runs every night, nobody checks it. The day you need to restore, it turns out it had been failing silently for four months, or that everything was backed up except exactly what was needed. A backup never restored is an assumption.

What to watch

  • What could be restored and how fast — a backup that was never tested does not count.
  • How it was communicated to customers and regulators, which is where reputational cost is decided.
  • Whether third parties or suppliers were in the chain, because the perimeter now includes partners.

How I read this entry

I would use it for a conversation with the board, not with the technical team. The question you must be able to answer there is how long the business can operate without its systems and what each day of that outage costs. With that number, the security budget gets discussed differently.
