The New Measure of Cyber Recovery: Can the Business Get Back to Work?
theCUBE Research, Monday, August 24th, 2026
Cyber resilience should be measured by restored business operations, not restored infrastructure.
Organizations need to redefine cyber recovery around business continuity rather than system restoration alone. Resilience programs should map critical operations, their dependencies, and recovery sequences before an incident occurs, not during one.
AI-enabled systems complicate matters because agents take autonomous actions that cannot simply be reversed by restoring a backup, which makes traceability and governance frameworks that track agent activity a necessary part of recovery planning.
