1. The five that matter
- Tested, offline/immutable backups you have restored from.
- MFA everywhere, especially remote access.
- Least privilege to limit spread.
- Network segmentation to slow lateral movement.
- A rehearsed incident-response plan.
2. The one people skip
Everyone has "backups"; few have restored from them under pressure. The recovery test is the point.
