The Human Side of Cyber Recovery: An Interview with Tyler Moffitt of Reimagining Cyber
Ransomware recovery doesn't end when the malware is removed and the servers come back online. In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, Tyler Moffitt is joined by Keelin Conant, a cybersecurity professional with firsthand experience of ransomware restoration, to explore what happens after the immediate crisis is over. They look beyond restoring systems to the human and business consequences that can linger for weeks, months and even years. Keelin shares stories of exhausted IT teams, leadership pressure, employee trauma, reputational damage and the danger of falling back into old habits once the immediate crisis has passed. The conversation also examines why organizations can be more vulnerable to another attack after the first one, the importance of fixing the vulnerabilities that allowed attackers in, and why backups and incident response plans aren't enough if they aren't regularly tested. From ransomware-as-a-service and repeat attacks to communication, leadership and the psychological impact on the people involved, this episode asks a fundamental question: when has an organization really recovered from a cyberattack? The answer may have less to do with getting the technology running again—and much more to do with whether the business and its people can genuinely move forward.
