“Tough regulations are coming to the financial sectors, requiring a recovery time of a maximum of two hours after a breach. In order to achieve these numbers, one needs a combination of two things: forensic grade monitoring in order to acquire information/details about the breach, and automation in how we provision and manage our systems. The first will give us the clue and background on the scope of the breach, the second the ability to respond by redeploying from a “known-good” state. IT automation is not only important because of cost, rather due to the less manual work involved, it also makes it possible to comply to regulations easier and to keep the agility when a breach happens.”
