Most banks we audit have a security strategy. Almost none have a resilience strategy. The difference is what happens at minute eleven of a real incident — when prevention has already failed and the question becomes how fast you recover.
Three pillars
Detection: hours to minutes. Response: documented playbooks, drilled monthly, not annually. Recovery: tested restores, not theoretical RPOs. Get any of these wrong and the others stop mattering.
What to do this quarter
Run one tabletop exercise. One. With your CFO and head of communications in the room, not just the security team. You will discover more about your real exposure in two hours than in any pen test report.
