“In the end, it has nothing to do with the threat you block – it certainly matters – it’s about the speed and effectiveness of being able to recover when something goes through, and it will eventually recover,” he observed. “Resilience means your business stays running, customers stay confident, and a bad day won’t be a crisis.”
No system is completely bulletproof. “Even the best defense can be broken,” Wheeler said. What distinguishes successful tissue from those of downward spiral spirals is how fast they react and rebound. “If you can recover within hours, that’s a headache. If it takes weeks, it’s a disaster,” he said. “Resilience is the difference between temporary issues and lasting damage – trust in your business, reputation and customers.”
3. Network, system and endpoint visibility
You cannot fix what you cannot see or know. “If you are not visible to the endpoint security, you will not be able to detect when the endpoint is compromised.” “If you have sufficient coverage for your production environment, but lack security control and visibility into your development environment, you may lack critical protection for your code and build processes.”
