A new report from Fastly highlights a disparity between the recovery expectations of IT decision-makers and the actual time it takes organisations to bounce back from serious cybersecurity incidents. The study, which surveyed 1,800 decision-makers responsible for cybersecurity across the Americas, Europe, APAC, and Japan, found that the average recovery time is 7.34 months—25% longer than the 5.85 months predicted by the respondents. Organisations that plan to cut their cybersecurity investments take even longer recovery times, averaging 8.14 months, while those actually reducing investment take an average of 10.88 months to recover.
Among the positive steps organisations can take to reduce the recovery time include implementing more robust security measures, employee training, data restoration, communication with stakeholders, and forensic analysis.
