Under US tort law and the Caremark doctrine, corporate liability often hinges on whether a board acted with "prudence."

European regulations like DORA and NIS2 are effectively raising the global bar for what is considered "prudent."

• Yesterday's Standard: It was prudent to prevent attacks (cybersecurity).

• Today's Standard: It is mandatory to guarantee service continuity during an attack (Resilience).

Courts are moving away from the "did you buy a firewall?" test and toward a "did you maintain the service?" inquiry.

And there will always be failures; it's tech after all. So you need a solid defense that proves you were diligent.

How do you prove to a regulator or a court that your board wasn't negligent? You need an automated defense of diligence.
