Reactive cybersecurity is obsolete; proactive defense demands continuous monitoring.

Saylor argues that organizations waiting for breaches to trigger defensive action are already defeated, and that cybersecurity requires continuous proactive monitoring and rapid response protocols rather than reactive incident management. He contends that the sophistication and coordination of modern cyber threats—exemplified by attacks on major corporations—demands specialized, strategic intervention as a core business competency, not an afterthought.
