“AI-driven attacks accelerate adversary actions and adaptation, so a slow recovery increases the window for re-compromise,” she adds, warning that extended outages can create cascading failures across interdependent internal and third-party systems.
Additionally, manual work-arounds deployed during and after an attack can threaten data integrity and increase compliance risk. “Internally, a prolonged ‘war room’ recovery strains the entire cyber workforce, raising burnout issues, error rates, and attrition, ultimately making future incidents even harder to handle,” she explains.
