Cyber resilience shouldn’t be an afterthought
"Achieving cyber resilience requires a shift in mindset: the people and processes of an organization must come together to act in a nimble and agile manner. A holistic approach to cyber resilience not only enhances security but also ensures operational continuity and protects an organization's reputation."

You have questions. We have answers.
In response to increasing cyber threats, some governments are adopting new regulatory frameworks to bolster enterprise security. These regulations establish a standardized framework for cybersecurity and data protection. By requiring enterprises to adopt robust security and resiliency measures and to manage cyber risks effectively, cybersecurity regulations help mitigate the potential for significant financial losses and disruptions.
While much of that may sound like common sense, it should not betray the immense challenges ahead of global enterprises as they seek to comply with new regulations — especially when they exist across the globe in a non-congruent patchwork.
As governments and regulators begin debating, adopting, and enforcing new cyber resilience regulations, enterprises are increasingly being compelled to prioritize cyber security and resiliency spending. That’s making the issue a top area of attention among enterprise technology leaders and the boardrooms to which they report.
Enterprises that proactively work to get ahead of new regulations will improve their overall security posture, reducing the likelihood of falling prey to data breaches and cyber-attacks. This will serve to boost trust and their reputations among stakeholders, fostering stronger relationships with customers and partners. Moreover, staying ahead of compliance requirements also provides a competitive advantage and demonstrates a commitment to cyber security and data protection.
