Organizations need to be ready to absorb the shocks from a cyber attack.
Organizations that do not effectively prepare for and respond to a cyber attack risk untold reputational and financial damage. Preparation builds resilience, or the ability to recover quickly from disruptions.
Preventing every breach is not a realistic goal, so resilience matters more than ever and requires more than a dusty crisis management plan and shiny tech. Technology can identify and detect many threats and facilitate recovery from a cyber attack, but it alone cannot effectively respond to every issue. Only an organization’s people – upskilled with the right capabilities – can successfully adapt, respond, and recover from the inevitable operational disruption caused by a cyber attack.
