Disruptions now move faster than organizations can react. Outages cascade across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS ecosystems in seconds. Cyberattacks that once took weeks to propagate now unfold in minutes. Insider threats, talent gaps, and brittle supply chains expose hidden single points of failure that don’t appear on any risk register until they activate. And then there is AI – which accelerates both mistakes and attacks while introducing entirely new failure modes: model drift, data poisoning, prompt exploitation. The organizations building the most sophisticated AI capabilities are often the same ones creating the most novel recovery challenges.
