Futures Parity: Why resilience is replacing prevention as the defining cybersecurity strategy

Futures Parity features Manuel Sanchez, Information Security and Compliance Specialist at iManage, on the fundamental shift underway in enterprise cybersecurity — from prevention to resilience — as organizations accept that even the best defenses will eventually fail. Sanchez describes how security teams are being restructured around dedicated disaster recovery playbooks with pre-assigned roles and rehearsed procedures, arguing that business continuity after a breach is a whole-company challenge that extends well beyond the CISO.
