Track 12: Once in a Lifetime, Talking Heads (1980)

Don’t ask “how did I get here?”  Plan ahead

David Byrne’s wild-eyed “How did I get here?” is basically the anthem of every breached business without a plan.  One day you’re selling widgets, the next your data’s on the dark web and you’re giving free credit monitoring to customers.

Gen X knows hindsight.  We’ve all had “what was I thinking?” moments, fashion choices alone prove that.  But in cyber, hindsight costs real money.

Resilience means not waiting for the “once in a lifetime” breach.  Plan now, disaster recovery, business continuity, backups tested, incident drills done.  Don’t ask how you got here.  Know where you’re going.

Because when the water flows underground in cyber, it takes your business with it if you’re not ready.

And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”
