Are there companies in the #CyberRecovery space?

You know, to help design processes and systems meant to be used after you suffer an extinction level #cyber incident.

#TableTopThursday You get a call during lunch that you all of your machines and servers on your L4 network were wiped clean by a threat actor.

What do you do next?

@sassdawe

Figure out what an L4 network is.

@jamie it is from the Purdue Model, basically your business IT network

@jamie I guess #Varta didn't maintain a separate L3 network for its plants...

@sassdawe

Ouch. I'm not familiar with the framework, but I also work at a manufacturing company and we have separation between IT/OT for that exact reason.

@jamie in that case, I believe your IT network is L4, and your OT network is L3 - if not L2

@sassdawe

Yeah, we maintain a separation between IT, OT DMZ, OT with firewalls in-between.

And it mostly worked during our...unscheduled test.

@jamie cool.

So, how much would it cost to lose the IT network one day and how long would it take to recover? (don't answer it)

@sassdawe

Not as long as it did! 😁

Things have improved as lessons learned have been taken to heart.

@jamie

And what about business continuity? Would that be a significant disruption to the business?

@sassdawe

Yes. That goes with our saying.
