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

Where it usually breaks is response, not prevention. There are tools, there are alerts, and when something real happens nobody knows who decides to disconnect, who gets called first, or what the customer is told. Valuable hours get lost arguing about that while the problem grows.

What to watch

  • How long it took to detect, usually the most revealing metric in the whole case.
  • Whether initial access came from a legitimate account handled badly, which is the most frequent pattern.
  • What could be restored and how fast — a backup that was never tested does not count.

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.
