In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, cyber threats are becoming increasingly complex. Recognising that individuals and organisations cannot prevent all malicious attacks or cyber failures, while embracing the opportunities that digital communication brings, has led to the rise of cyber resilience. This report unpacks the concept of cyber resilience, outlining the evolution of the cyber paradigm and establishes a concept of successful cyber resilience.
Cyber resilience goes beyond cybersecurity, preventing attacks or simply getting back to operations-as-usual – it is about an organisation’s ability to minimise the impact of significant cyber incidents on its primary goals and objectives. The primary goals and objectives can be different for each organisation but will always include the protection of critical service delivery, stakeholder confidence and the principal assets that underpin value and position in the market.
