Cyber Resilience
An increase and evolution of cyberattacks has prompted the need for companies to make cyber resilience a top priority. End-to-end, tailored testing programs measure the “readiness” capabilities of an organization and help improve incident response, therefore strengthening organizational resilience.

The context
Cyber resilience describes the ability of a company or an individual to protect themselves from and respond to cyberattacks, as well as the knowledge of how to anticipate and adapt to the steady evolution of cyber threats.
A key element of cyber resilience is the shift from a “prevention” mindset to a “resilience mindset”, preparing for ‘when’ not ‘if’ cyberattacks will occur. This has been reflected in cybersecurity investment allocations, as recent years have seen a shift in spending to improve response management capabilities.
It is therefore necessary to focus not only on how to prevent adverse events, but also on how to deal with these events once they have already happened: implementing a cyber resilience testing program has become a mandatory activity for organizations.
Key enablers
Considering the increase in frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks and their impact on a company’s business, organizations should be cognizant of key enablers for building a cyber resilient organization.
Resilience testing
Cyber resilience testing can be approached in different ways so as to challenge different targets and practice different skills, either by focusing on testing response processes, on people, or on technical detection and response capabilities.
