Business Continuity Planning: Ensuring Resilience in IT Systems

Cyber resilience has evolved beyond traditional business continuity and disaster recovery. Today, organizations must be prepared to sustain critical services even when systems, identities, data, suppliers, communications, or recovery environments are compromised.

By treating cyber resilience as an enterprise-wide governance responsibility rather than solely an IT function, organizations can strengthen their ability to withstand attacks, recover from a trusted state, and continue delivering the services that matter most.

The Role of the Board in Privacy and Information Security
