Why Some Organizations Recover Stronger After a Cyber Incident
Published
Todd Thorsen, CISO at CrashPlan, examines how security leadership is changing as organizations adopt AI, cloud platforms, automation, and third-party services. Thorsen argues that CISOs must enable business progress while evolving into enterprise risk and strategy partners through early engagement, communication, and internal collaboration.
He identifies misplaced vendor trust as a persistent problem. Certifications do not necessarily reflect a provider’s current control environment. He recommends scrutinizing vendor obligations, customer-controlled configurations, and fourth-party dependencies.
During incidents, security teams should establish the facts and investigate; executives must determine risk tolerance, continuity priorities, and stakeholder communications. Clearly separated responsibilities prevent costly delays.
Watch Thorsen detail how organizations recover more effectively when incident response, breach response, and disaster recovery are routinely rehearsed and more.
