In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, cyber threats are becoming increasingly complex. The realization that individuals and organizations cannot prevent all malicious attacks or cyber outages while taking advantage of digital opportunities has led to the rise of cyber resilience. This white paper, published by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with our Director and others, explains the concept of cyber resilience, outlines the evolution of the cyber paradigm and sets out a blueprint for successful cyber resilience.

“Organizations need to consider the range of plausible
scenarios that could affect them. It is important to
examine how the organization is connected (in both
the technical and business sense) to the surrounding
business environment. The external environment and
the potentially competing interests of stakeholders may
well constrain what is possible for the organization.
Likewise, some of the key measures to enhance cyber
resilience will extend beyond the organization itself.
To achieve true cyber resilience, organizations must
actively collaborate with external parties, including
suppliers, customers and other stakeholders,
who have a shared interest in strengthening the
resilience of the entire business environment.”
