Why Resilience Is the Right Goal
That’s good, because even as businesses work to advance their zero-trust strategies, it’s time for fresh thinking about what it means to be truly secure.
As Veeam CEO Anand Eswaran tells us in an exclusive interview, organizations’ real goal should be resilience, which includes not just a good security posture but also the right backup and recovery strategy (see "What Are the Five Pillars of Data Resilience"). And sure enough, organizations such as the credit union BCU are working to increase their resilience with managed detection and response, in addition to the usual security tools (see "How to Increase Your Security Monitoring Without New Hires").

Our research found that about two-thirds of organizations have suffered a breach within the past five years; for the rest, it’s just a matter of time. What I like about the notion of cyber resilience is that it sets a goal you can meet: Instead of defining success as fending off every attack without fail, it’s about whether you can hold down attackers’ success rate, then recover quickly when they do score.
And that’s an objective that every organization can get behind.
