If you can't patch because of downtime, maybe you are cheaping out too much on redundancy?
That immediately stuck out to me as well, what a lame excuse not to patch. I've been in IT for a while now, and I've never worked in any shop that would let that slide.
Yeah, that's pretty risky for this point in time.
I guess the MBA people look at total cost of revenue/reputation loss for things like ransomware recovery, restoration of backups vs the cost of making their IT systems resilient?
Personally, I don't think so (in many cases) or they'd spend more money on planning/resilience.
