Cyber Recovery as Risk Management: How Readiness Reduces Impact
Part of the series Attack Threat Resilience 3-Part Series
View SeriesEven with strong prevention and detection, incidents still happen. The real test comes after containment, when organizations need to recover cleanly, quickly, and with confidence.
In the final part of our three-part webinar series on attack and threat resilience, this webinar focuses on what happens after an attack, when downtime, uncertainty, and pressure from the business are at their highest. Our subject matter experts will explore why recovery often fails in real ransomware scenarios and what teams need to do to restore systems safely and reliably.
While prevention and response help limit damage, recovery determines how quickly an organization can get back to normal. This session is about preparing for that moment before it happens.
In this session, we will cover:
- Why backups frequently fail during real-world attacks
- What clean recovery requires today
- How attackers target backup and recovery infrastructure
- The role of immutability and isolation in modern recovery strategies
- How anomaly detection helps protect recovery points
- How to plan for faster, more confident restores
This webinar is ideal for any IT or security professional who seeks to reduce their downtime after incidents and bring confidence on recovery resilience to their organization.
