Cohesity Report: 93% of Recovery Plans Rely on Assumptions That May Not Hold During an Attack

Organizations are investing heavily in cyber resilience, yet many may be overestimating their ability to recover when a cyberattack actually occurs.

According to the Cohesity Global Cyber Resilience Report, 93% of IT and security leaders say their recovery plans depend on key assumptions that could break down during a real incident. The study highlights a growing gap between confidence in recovery strategies and the realities organizations face when systems, data, and identities are simultaneously under attack.

One of the report's key findings is that many recovery plans assume events will unfold in an orderly and predictable sequence. In practice, cyber incidents are often chaotic, requiring organizations to make rapid decisions while restoring critical services and validating clean recovery points.

As ransomware and cyberattacks continue to evolve, organizations should regularly validate recovery procedures, test recovery assumptions, and ensure they can recover business-critical operations under real-world conditions.

The message is clear: cyber resilience is no longer measured by how well data is protected, but by how quickly and confidently organizations can recover.
