Synopsis
The highly interconnected world has pushed cyber resilience to become a key foundation for ensuring business continuity. This presentation not only addresses the how-to of building cyber resilience but also emphasizes the strategic importance of integrating these practices within the broader context of business operations and continuity planning. It will provide organisations with frameworks and possible solutions to enhance cyber resilience as well as possible approaches for mitigating the impact of cyber incidents and maintaining operational integrity under adverse conditions. Some case studies of recent cyber incidents will be explored. A high-level outline is presented as follows:
1. What is Cyber Resilience? Presentation presents the definition of cyber resilience and the role it plays in modern enterprises in today’s digital age.
2. Why Cyber Resilience? Provide an overview of the cyber threat landscape and its impact on business continuity.
3. Key Components of Cyber Resilience
- Govern and Identify: Tools and methodologies for identifying and assessing cyber risks. This involves governance to ensure that cybersecurity measures evolve and adapt to cater to emerging threats and changing business requirements.
- Protect: Strategies for safeguarding critical digital and physical assets.
- Detect: Approaches for improving the accuracy and speed of threat detection
- Response and Recovery: Developing and implementing incident response plans that minimize downtime and facilitate rapid recovery.
4. Integrating Cyber Resilience into BCP. Cybersecurity strategies need to align with business continuity plans (BCP), with consideration of legal and regulatory considerations. The importance of leadership to foster a culture that prioritises cyber resilience is explored.
5. Enhancing Cyber Resilience. Technological innovations in enhancing cyber resilience is discussed, which may include such things automation in detection and response (including use of artificial intelligence), role of blockchain to enhance data security, advances in approaches to protecting sensitive information, etc.
6. Building and Maintaining Cyber Resilience. Best practices for implementing and maintaining cyber resilience is explored. This may include training and exercises for staff preparedness to respond to various cyber scenarios; regular assessments to validate the state and effectiveness of resilience strategies; and collaboration with industries and government bodies for collective security and resilience.
7. Case Studies and Lessons Learned. Analysis of a sample of notable security incidents and key takeaways / insights.
8. Future Trends and Challenges. This looks into emerging technologies, which provides opportunities for enhancing Cyber Resilience but may also present challenges, e.g., predictive analytics in cybersecurity, impact of IoT and 5G, etc.
9. Conclusion and Q&A. Recap of the critical points covered and Q&A.
To summarise, this presentation will underscore the imperative of cyber resilience, providing strategic insights and practical frameworks vital for safeguarding business operations against cyber threats.
