Static Plans vs. Dynamic Threats: Cyber Recovery in the Age of Frontier AI

Your recovery plan was built for a threat that no longer exists

Most public sector cyber recovery plans were written for a different era. New Cohesity research shows how wide the gap has become. In a survey of 400 public sector IT and security leaders, 97% say frontier AI will require real change to how they recover. That’s AI capable of finding vulnerabilities and executing multi-step intrusions faster than defenders can respond. Yet only 2% believe their current plan is ready.

The gap goes deeper. Only 14% have a formally documented and tested Minimum Viable Entity (MVE), the plan for keeping critical resident services running while broader recovery continues.

In this 30-minute webinar, Marlon Hughes, Area Vice President, Systems Engineering, Public Sector, Cohesity, and Marianne Bailey, former NSA Executive and DOD CIO/CISO, unpack the findings from Cohesity's latest Public Sector Cyber Resilience Report. They outline what it takes to build a recovery plan that holds up under real conditions: before, during, and after a cyber event.

Watch now to learn:

• Which outdated assumptions are shaping recovery plans, and how they undermine recovery when it matters most
• What a Minimum Viable Entity means for public sector agencies, and how to define and test one
• How to build a recovery plan that keeps pace with the AI agents and copilots already embedded in administrative workflows
