Right of Bang: When the Plan Fails and the Clock is Running
Every agricultural lending institution has a cyber incident response plan. Very few of them have tested whether that plan actually works when the pressure is real, the timeline is compressed, and the decisions have to be made by people who have never been in that situation before. The military concept of "Right of Bang" refers to what happens after an event that cannot be reversed, meaning after the explosion, after the breach, and after the ransomware has deployed. It is the window in which every decision matters and in which organizations that have prepared perform dramatically better than those that have only planned.
