Do We Have the Operational Resilience to Make This Change Safely Right Now?

Staffing reductions during holiday periods affect more than just personnel numbers and should influence decisions about timing IT and security changes.

Why it matters: Security and IT practitioners must account for reduced team capacity when scheduling critical changes, as depleted staffing increases risk of detection gaps, slower incident response, and prolonged recovery from unintended outages.
