Understandably, security has long been the highest priority for ICT (Information and Computing Technology) to protect organizations from external threats, such as malware, hacking and ransomware attacks. Yet, with the number and severity of IT-related threats in our interconnected work today, security as a defensive strategy is not enough.

Cyber resilience is needed to prevent, withstand and recover from cybersecurity incidents efficiently and swiftly. Moreover, from an operational perspective, cyber resilience aims to maintain the continuity and integrity of service for customers/users—even in the midst of technological disruption or an IT incident.

Consequently, cyber resilience brings together business continuity, information systems security and organizational resilience. The C-Suite, Information Technology Services and Risk/Incident Management need to work together to ensure that business objectives, technology and operational efficiency are fully aligned and coordinated.
