Minimum viability, sometimes referred to as a “minimum viable company”, means having a keen understanding of just the most critical assets and what it takes to restore them to be operational after a cyberattack or incident.
The rise of cyberattacks is forcing organizations to rethink their recovery strategies. While detecting threats remains critical, a more significant challenge has emerged: making sure protected data is clean and available to bring a company back online. And that’s the scope of minimum viabilitity.
Developing a plan for minimum viability starts well before an attack and has basically three main phases: first an accurate and aligned view of the core processes and dependent systems, then understanding the cost of downtime for those core resources, and finally making clear and actionable plan to restore critical systems, data, and processes.

The rise of cyberattacks is forcing organizations to rethink their recovery strategies. While detecting threats remains critical, a more significant challenge has emerged: making sure protected data is clean and available to bring a company back online.
