Organizations often lose precious hours and sometimes millions of dollars because they lack a well-defined and tested incident response plan. In many cases, response roles are loosely defined and disconnected from key stakeholders, including digital forensics teams, breach counsel, and cyber insurance providers. Even large organizations fall into this trap, resulting in delayed containment, inefficient recovery, and prolonged business interruption.

When you are in crisis mode, you need less paperwork and more immediate action.

Every so often, something comes along that forces you to recalibrate how you think about cyber risk. Not incrementally, but fundamentally. Claude Mythos feels like one of those moments. The cybersecurity industry has spent decades racing attackers to close vulnerabilities faster. Claude Mythos suggests that race may be entering an entirely new phase. One where speed itself becomes the defining risk factor.

From cybersecurity breaches to natural disasters, disruptive events can occur suddenly and without warning. As a result, it is crucial for organizations to develop resilient plans that not only respond to incidents in real time but also ensure long-term operational survivability. This article examines the concepts of incident response and business continuity, exploring their differences and similarities while offering practical strategies to integrate them into a cohesive operational plan.

A phishing campaign targeting multiple organizations led to RMM installations – but not much else (yet). A threat actor experimenting, or an access-as-a-service attack underway? Sophos’ Managed Detection and Response (MDR) teams reported on a phishing campaign late last year that attempted to trick users into installing LogMeIn Resolve (formerly GoToResolve), a remote monitoring and management (RMM) tool, to acquire remote unattended access.

For many organizations, ServiceNow operates as the system of record for governance, auditability, and compliance. But when incidents occur, engineers often need to consult external tools to identify and resolve the root cause. When investigations are siloed from the system of record, engineers must return to ServiceNow to manually update work notes, incident statuses, and mandatory resolution fields before closing tickets.
