Operational restoration is the process of returning business systems, networks, and services to normal functioning after a cybersecurity incident or disruption. This involves assessing the extent of the damage, removing threats, repairing affected systems, and validating that all operations are secure and stable. Restoration may also include recovering data from backups, reconfiguring security controls, and conducting post-incident reviews to prevent future occurrences. The goal is to minimize downtime and ensure that critical business functions resume safely and efficiently, while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements and organizational policies.
