Everyone Thinks the Attack Is Over. It Isn't. Not for Years

A news series examines how security incidents extend far beyond the initial response and recovery phase. Organizations often believe attacks are resolved once systems are restored, but the actual work of remediation, detection of persistent threats, and rebuilding confidence continues for years.

Why it matters: Practitioners should plan incident response and budgets with the expectation that compromised environments require extended monitoring and hardening, not just rapid restoration to operational status.
