It’s only when an incident occurs that you can truly gauge how secure your business really is
As your software becomes increasingly important to your business, you hardly notice it in your day-to-day operations. It’s only when something stops working as usual that questions arise that were never asked before. Who is responsible? Where does the problem originate? How quickly can the situation be assessed?
Systems that have evolved over the years provide stability. At the same time, they ensure that knowledge remains with individual people, responsibilities aren’t clearly defined, and connections become hard to trace. As long as everything is running smoothly, this goes unnoticed. When a problem arises, you suddenly lose the big picture.
