Situation pretty bad in Abergavenny. Mostly major surface water flooding rather than rivers. Local Facebook has been frantic all evening. Admins have turned off posts/comments on main group now for the night. Very little coverage from journalists, and what is reported is mostly taken from Facebook

At @publicdigital.bsky.social my colleague @robmiller31.bsky.social has a saying: “you can’t be safe, only safer”

Being safer, and more resilient, means changing how leadership approaches technology delivery. Whether that’s for cyber security. Or tech failure.

In this article I make the case that leadership’s responsibility is to shift the mindset from prevention, to focussing on resilience.

The most important question for a CIO/CTO is no longer, ‘Have we stopped all bad things from happening?’ but ‘When a bad thing happens, how quickly can we recover?’

We’ve seen many of these incidents over the last year - from the Crowdstrike failure last summer, the recent attacks against TfL, M&S, Co-op, to the ongoing impacts supply chains following the cyber attack on JLR.

These have a knock on impact to businesses and public services around the world. /2

Which is great until you realise how reliant other AWS regions are on us-east-1

:( poor Bruce. Sending hugs for him.

Interesting discussions about that in the Talk page:
