What Is Cyber Resilience?
Cyber resilience is about preparing for, managing, and recovering from threats and cyberattacks. At Embriq, we summarize it as the ability to understand, secure, monitor, and recover. Importantly, it’s not just about preventing attacks—it’s about ensuring your business can swiftly resume normal operations if an incident occurs.
Why Is Cyber Resilience So Important?
As digital attacks become more sophisticated and frequent, traditional cybersecurity alone is no longer enough. While firewalls and antivirus tools help defend against many threats, businesses must also be prepared for the unexpected. A cyber-resilient organization can:
-
Limit the impact: By implementing mechanisms that prevent attacks from spreading.
-
Maintain critical operations: Key processes can continue to function during an attack or system failure.
-
Recover quickly: Minimize downtime and data loss, and return to normal operations swiftly.
How Do You Build Cyber Resilience?
Building cyber resilience requires a holistic approach based on continuous focus and development. It’s about understanding, securing, monitoring, and recovering to protect and strengthen your IT systems. Here’s how:
-
Understand: Identify what needs protection. What’s critical to your business? How is technology used in your operations? A thorough risk analysis provides the foundation for all future actions.
-
Secure: Analyze the setup and implement proactive protection—including system hardening, software updates, firewalls, networks, operating systems, and endpoints. This ensures a robust infrastructure.
-
Monitor: Continuous monitoring of both IT and OT systems is essential. This includes watching network activity, user traffic, and endpoints. Ongoing ransomware scanning and accurate alerting help detect threats early and isolate infected data.
-
Recover: If something goes wrong, you need strong incident response routines. This includes investigation, forensics, and structured recovery to restore operations effectively—and to learn from incidents and build future resilience.
