Cyber Resilience is a core foundational cybersecurity concept that every cybersecurity and GRC professional should understand.
What Is Cyber Resilience?
Cyber Resilience refers to the practices, processes, or technologies related to cyber resilience within the context of information security and risk management. Understanding cyber resilience helps organizations protect their systems, data, and operations from relevant threats.
How It Works
Cyber Resilience is applied through a combination of policies, technical controls, and organizational procedures. Security teams implement cyber resilience as part of a broader security program aligned to industry frameworks and regulatory requirements.
Why It Matters
Organizations that correctly implement cyber resilience reduce their exposure to cyber risk, improve regulatory compliance, and strengthen their overall security posture.
