Preparation is better than cure. Why cyber resilience and recovery go hand in hand.

In the World Economic Forum’s latest report on global risks, ‘widespread cybercrime and cyber insecurity’ is the only technological risk to make the top ten – over both the short (two years) and long (10 years) term. In fact, no other technological risks currently make it onto the shortlist.

This makes cyber resilience and recovery for Australian businesses and organisations a board-level priority, not a box-ticking exercise.

We believe that preparation is better than cure. It’s only by toughing up your cyber defences and mitigating risk before disaster strikes that you will have a significant advantage when it comes to your ability to recover and restore your systems afterwards.

Cyber resilience VS cyber security

While you may have heard the term cyber resilience bandied around – what does it mean? And how does it differ from cybersecurity?

If you’ve built a cyber resilience framework, you’ll be equipped to better defend your organisation from attack, limit the impact on your systems and data, and keep on working during and after an attack.

Cybersecurity is the ‘how’ of protecting your electronic data. It encompasses the processes, best business practices and technology solutions you put in place to safeguard your systems and network.

Whereas cyber resiliency and cyber recovery is your ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from a cyberattack.

The importance of being resistant to cyber risk

Due to the sheer number and sophistication of daily cyber-attacks, cyber resilience, data resilience and cyber recovery are now bigger challenges and higher priorities for your organisation than ever before.

Not only has the opportunity for PR and brand damage and the potential loss of revenue and your customers multiplied significantly over the last few years, but you’re under the pump to comply with strict legal, regulatory, and contractual cyber security and cyber resilience obligations. Or face substantial penalties.
