Introducing ResOps, the operating discipline built for quick, clean recovery

ResOps is an emerging operating discipline that shifts organizational focus from prevention-only strategies to proving rapid, clean recovery capabilities, as cyberattacks have increased 75% year-over-year and adversaries now systematically target backup and recovery infrastructure. IT organizations must implement integrated recovery strategies across backup, security, and infrastructure teams, adopt the new MTCR (mean time to clean recovery) metric to demonstrate clean restoration to boards, and establish independent identity layers and immutable storage to prevent reinfection. This represents a fundamental change in how CIOs measure and communicate cybersecurity resilience—moving from speed of recovery to proof of cleanliness.
