What Does Cyber Resilience Mean in the Digital Landscape?
Multiplying threats, increasing sophistication, and regulatory requirements have made cyber security and privacy a business requirement to succeed in the digital age.
As you engage with customers and partners in new and emerging ways, managing your organization’s cyber resilience requires a comprehensive, agile approach to ensure its effectiveness today and into the future.
We define resilience to be the organizational capability to sense, resist and respond to disruptive cyber events, and to recover from them within an acceptable timeframe.
In reality, cyber resilience is about the management not the elimination of risk.
Not only is eliminating risk impossible, but it impedes agility; an environment with an acceptable level of risk supports innovation where knowledge is power.
The most cyber resilient organizations recognize that security needs to go beyond systems, software or IT departments to include raising the security IQ of all employees and improved organizational processes.
Why is cyber resilience critical?
With technology advancing so does the threat landscape as hackers have more resources than ever before not to mention Nation state attacks continue to surface.
By definition, a digital economy is borderless and ever-changing. Therefore, rather than build a seemingly impregnable fortress around your digital presence, the objective, instead, is to create the capability to anticipate threats, to absorb the impacts of such threat, and to respond in a rapid and flexible way to ensure that your vital systems and core processes continue operating.
Cyber resilience requires recognition that you must prepare now to deal with severe impacts from cyber threats that cannot be predicted or prevented including external and internal collaboration throughout your organization.
How to start
Digital transformation is opening new investment opportunities every day.
But with the pace of innovation and the ever-evolving compliance environment, introducing technologies to your organization can add tremendous value. However, it also widens the attack surface leading to more exposure and increased chance of vulnerabilities, as hackers and other threat actors find new ways to penetrate information networks to steal and disrupt your business.
Organizations have to be aware of these emerging areas of vulnerability, devise an effective strategy to manage cyber risk and help create sustainable conditions for continued business growth in the increasingly digital economy.
Better protect and manage your assets
To successfully face and overcome an attack, you must thoroughly understand your organization’s security and risk posture.
This means identifying your vital assets, conducting an assessment that includes all known security vulnerabilities, and establishing a baseline which you will compare with your peers.
When cyber attacks occur, threat actors can and will target an organization’s assets. These assets can take various forms, including data: such as credit card information, personal health records, privileged user credentials and intellectual property. It’s imperative that you compile an asset database that will evolve in step with the digitization of your business and be flexible enough to align with the cyber resilience strategy.
Identifying an organizations critical digital assets is an important step in understanding the risks that have to be managed.
