NotPetya, the Russian Wiper

Semperis argues AI-driven attacks are outpacing identity teams as machine identities outnumber human ones 10:1, and urges building organization-wide cyber resilience around hybrid identity protection before the next crisis.

RSA 2020 interview with Semperis CEO Mickey Bresman: ransomware crews hijack Active Directory for lateral movement; NotPetya's $10B damage shows why AD cyber-resilience tooling matters.

Wiper war stories: inside a 10,000-employee manufacturer whose entire AD and backup servers fell to NotPetya in under 10 minutes—and the hard recovery decisions that followed.

Semperis argues that testing backups under ideal conditions creates only an illusion of resilience; real cyber resilience is about staying recoverable when the plan fails and the assumptions behind it collapse.

Cyber resilience is a whole-organization effort. Which roles a resilient org needs in place before the next identity crisis hits—and why HIP 2026 is worth a team trip.

Semperis unpacks the Five Eyes' June 2026 warning on AI-accelerated threats, urging boards to treat cyber resilience as core business risk and validate identity recovery before attackers do.
