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 read it with the same short list as always: second factor on anything that grants access, tested backups kept off the network, and a real inventory of what is exposed to the internet. It is not glamorous, and it still prevents most disasters.

What usually goes wrong

What I see fail most is the backup. It is configured, it runs every night, nobody checks it. The day you need to restore, it turns out it had been failing silently for four months, or that everything was backed up except exactly what was needed. A backup never restored is an assumption.

What to watch

  • How it was communicated to customers and regulators, which is where reputational cost is decided.
  • Whether third parties or suppliers were in the chain, because the perimeter now includes partners.
  • How long it took to detect, usually the most revealing metric in the whole case.

How I read this entry

What I would review this very week is access: accounts belonging to people who left, permissions that grew without anyone trimming them, and shared credentials everybody swears do not exist. It is the least glamorous work and the one that cuts off the most attacks.
