Episode notes
Downtime Is The True Measure Of Resilience
- Downtime is the commercial proxy for cyber resilience because lost minutes directly halt orders, payroll, and invoicing.
- Christy Wyatt frames resilience as cross-functional recovery speed, not just prevention, focusing on how quickly business processes resume.
Rehearse Recovery Like A Cross-Functional Drill
- Rehearse recovery beyond detection tabletop exercises to include communications, playbooks, and prioritized roles.
- Wyatt urges cross-functional rehearsals that define who comes online first and how safe systems propagate through the business.
Rebuild Devices Remotely To Slash Recovery Time
- Rebuild endpoints remotely to convert weeks-long device replacement into minutes of recovery.
- Absolute's firmware-embedded agent can securely wipe, remediate, and re-image devices before the OS boots to restore users quickly.
