It gets tricky when 'your' company will lose money $$$ while you wait a
month to restore from your cloud backups.
So Executives roll the dice to see if service can be restored quickly as
possible keeping shareholders and customers happy as possible.

Not exactly network but maybe, but certainly operational. Shouldn't this

There is also the obvious problem that if they got in, something (or
someone) is compromised that needs to be cleaned which sounds sort of
like DR again to me.
