Over the past 12 months, there has been a noticeable shift in the way businesses approach their cybersecurity strategies.
Traditionally, the lion’s share of security budgets was allocated towards tools designed to prevent attacks, operating under the assumption that a strong enough defence could keep threats at bay.
However, the evolving landscape of cyber threats and high-profile incidents has led to a significant rethink.
A notable example is Palo Alto Networks, a giant in the cybersecurity space, which experienced its biggest one-day share drop following an announcement of reduced annual billings forecast due to softer client spending.
A Shift Towards Resilience
This event underscores a broader trend: despite the availability of excellent security products from major vendors, attacks are still managing to penetrate defences.
Often, the breaches are not due to the inadequacy of the security tools used but stem from human error, bad actors or manipulation.
This trend is prompting many Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) to adopt a new mindset: it’s not a matter of if an attack will happen, but when.
Consequently, Predatar has seen a growing emphasis on cyber resilience – the ability to recover from incidents swiftly and efficiently.
Innovations in Recovery Solutions
We are not the only vendor to spot this, leaders in the backup and recovery industry, such as IBM, Cohesity, and Rubrik, have been making significant investments to enhance the resilience of their platforms.
These efforts aim to provide businesses with the tools they need to recover from cyber incidents, thus minimising downtime and protecting their reputation.
Regulatory Pressures and Predatar’s Role
Moreover, the increasing regulatory pressure, such as the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) in Europe and similar forthcoming legislation in the US, mandates that organisations must demonstrate their ability to recover from cyber incidents.
Predatar not only helps businesses meet these regulatory requirements but also provides peace of mind by ensuring that recovery processes are effective and ready to be deployed at a moment’s notice.
Wrapping up
In conclusion, as the threat landscape continues to evolve, businesses are recognising the importance of balancing prevention with resilience.
The shift towards investing in cyber resilience reflects a pragmatic approach to cybersecurity, acknowledging that while attacks may be inevitable, the impact on the business doesn’t have to be.
With solutions like Predatar, organizations can continually test and validate their recoverability, ensuring they are prepared to respond to and recover from any incident, thereby safeguarding their operations, reputation, and compliance in an increasingly uncertain digital world.
