The Resilience Paradox: Why 90% of IT Teams Overestimate Their Operational Readiness
ITProToday, Monday, August 4th, 2025
A new SolarWinds study reveals 90% of IT teams think they're resilient, yet fewer than half can handle basic challenges like BYOD and AI integration.
Understanding the true state of operational resilience is essential for IT leaders tasked with maintaining high-availability systems and rapid incident response.
A new study from SolarWinds surveyed more than 600 IT leaders across nine countries. The findings reveal a troubling disconnect between perceived and actual resilience capabilities. Most organizations believe they're well-prepared for disruptions. However, significant gaps in workflows, staffing, and measurement practices are undermining their actual operational readiness.
