Most security budgets are built around keeping attackers out. When something gets through, there's no tested plan, no automated response, and no clear path to recovery.
Security tools generate signals. Acting on them fast enough to stop the spread is a different problem, and most stacks were never built to solve it.
Blocked port scans and stopped phishing emails tell you what the tools caught. They say nothing about whether you'd survive an attack that got through.
Most organizations move from contained to restored without checking whether backups are clean, monitoring is healthy, or the threat has actually cleared.
