Left and Right of Boom: How Vigilant Helps You Prepare, Respond, and Recover
In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, whether it’s cybersecurity, operational risk, or crisis management, the concepts of “Left of Boom” and “Right of Boom” have never been more relevant. Originating in military strategy, these terms have found vital applications across industries, including corporate security, IT infrastructure, and operational resilience.
But what do these terms mean for your business? More importantly, how can Vigilant’s security solutions help you manage both sides of the boom effectively?
What Does “Left of Boom” Mean?
Left of Boom refers to everything that happens before a major disruptive event. This could be a cyberattack, system failure, or any operational disruption. The focus is on proactive measures—identifying vulnerabilities, mitigating risks, and preparing for potential incidents before they occur.
