Who do you call first after a breach?

If your team has to figure that out during the incident, you are already losing time.

In this edition of Cyber in Seconds, Steve Dahlin shares a simple recommendation: build your incident response playbook before you need it. That means deciding in advance who gets called, who makes decisions, and what happens first.

Patch lists can get long fast. Treating every vulnerability as equally urgent makes prioritization harder.

In this edition of Cyber in Seconds, Curtis recommends starting with two areas: internet-facing vulnerabilities and vulnerabilities that attackers are already exploiting.

That gives IT teams a clearer way to focus limited time where the risk is highest.

Your company has backups. When was the last time you tested restoring them?

A successful backup doesn't automatically guarantee a successful recovery. If ransomware takes critical systems offline, your team needs to know which applications to restore first, how long recovery will take, and whether your backup data is protected. Those answers belong in your incident response planning, alongside clearly assigned responsibilities and tested recovery procedures.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month is an opportunity to review the details before an emergency exposes the gaps.

The cheapest cyber insurance quote can get expensive when the coverage does not match the risk you thought you transferred.

Deductibles, exclusions, ransomware provisions, business interruption coverage, and security requirements can change what the policy delivers after an incident.

Price deserves attention. The details deserve more.

If an attack started tonight, which part of your cybersecurity program would you trust least?

Your prevention?
Identity and access controls?
Detection?
Incident response?
Recovery?
Your employees' ability to recognize something is wrong?

It's an uncomfortable question. It's also more useful than asking whether your organization is “secure.”

Cybersecurity isn't one control, one product, or one team. An attacker only needs one workable path through the environment. Resilience depends on what happens before, during, and after that path is found.

Tomorrow begins Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Throughout October, we're going to use it to focus on practical questions IT and business leaders can actually act on, from emerging threats and AI security to detection, incident response, recovery, and the security fundamentals that still matter.
Because awareness is useful.

Knowing what to do next is better.
