What is the Operationally-Sound Ransomware Recovery course about?
Most recovery plans fail not from lack of tools, but from operational misalignment across sites. Siloed decision-making, inconsistent recovery time objectives, and unclear escalation paths delay restoration and amplify impact. As attack surfaces expand, so does the gap between having a plan and executing one effectively across multiple locations.
