They’re the quiet ones—the ones that will silently gut your continuity strategy while leadership watches the wrong fire.
1️⃣ Shadow SaaS Is Out of Control
Business units are adopting tools without IT oversight—no security, no backups, no DR.
It works… until it doesn’t. Then it becomes your problem.
2️⃣ RTOs Are Fiction, Not Strategy
“30 hours” looks good—until the CEO demands answers three hours in.
If your recovery needs a miracle, it’s not a plan. It’s a pending failure.
3️⃣ Resilience Theater Is Everywhere
Policies? Written. Boxes? Checked.
But when the real incident hits, no one knows what to do. You’ve got documentation, not readiness.
4️⃣ Hidden Dependencies Will Break You
APIs, scripts, microservices—no SLAs, no visibility, no accountability.
They fail quietly. Business halts. And no one saw it coming.
5️⃣ Continuity Teams Have Quiet Quit
Resilience professionals are exhausted, underfunded, and unheard.
Their silence isn’t safety—it’s burnout. And it’s dangerous.
🔶 Resilience doesn’t fail loudly. It erodes quietly.
CISOs and leadership teams: It’s time to stop watching the wrong fire.
