This article challenges the common misconception that having backups alone is sufficient for business continuity. It highlights that while backups protect data, they do not ensure operational continuity during ransomware attacks or outages, which can result in costly downtime. Developers and businesses should consider implementing full Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) strategies rather than relying solely on backups.

Developers should care because these 'ghost identities' represent a significant and often overlooked attack surface in cloud environments.
