A well-run company doesn't need "miracles". They paid the price of unpreparedness, and successfully rebuilding servers doesn't imply learning lessons and improving processes.

I completely agree. I was only pointing out that even extreme cases don't seem to lead to proper valuations.

Many companies do things in a way where miracles aren't required - but the values perceived by those departments still don't seem in line with value delivered.

Yeah being unprepared for NSA 0-day exploit chains, repacked by the Russians to attack Ukraine, really comes across as normal business conditions.

And after such an attack, you decide lowest cost is the primary IT driver?
