Can we keep working during a cyber incident?
Often partly, if you planned for it. Decide in advance which processes are critical and how they run without IT for a few days: paper order forms, phone lists of customers and suppliers, manual delivery notes, a spare laptop that has never been on the company network. Isolating affected systems may let others keep working, which is why good segmentation pays off during an incident, not only before. Be careful with shortcuts: connecting personal devices or a home laptop to the damaged network can spread the problem or destroy evidence. Communicate with staff through a channel outside the affected systems and tell them clearly what not to do. Insurers and customers both value a company that kept serving them. NetSenX shows which segments and hosts are involved, which helps you decide what can safely stay online.
