Not if, but when – why those who are prepared are not afraid of cyberattacks (7 min)
Cyberattacks cannot be completely prevented; attackers choose the timing and the method. The key is to keep essential operations running even during an incident and recover safely. Backups help only when they are verified, quickly restorable, and free of infection. Attackers act beyond your control and often sneak into the environment for months while they map weak spots. The goal, therefore, isn’t a promise of “no attacks,” but the ability to continue core activities even while an attack is underway. Preparation helps: identify risks, critical processes and assets, determine how long operations can be down and how much data you can still afford to lose.
