The past year has taught us that just about anyone—any organization or individual, of any size or global standing—is susceptible to a cyber attack.

The frequency and severity of data breaches continues to mount and at the same time, the nature of cyber security and technical solutions is evolving rapidly in an effort to respond. For businesses, staying abreast of the threats is challenging enough, let alone sourcing the right solutions. However, making a shift in focus from prevention to resilience is an approach that can empower businesses. Instead of solely creating the “best security infrastructure,” businesses should evaluate agile risk management protocols that take an enterprise risk management approach and include all key stakeholders—even those beyond the IT department.

It all comes down to creating a mindset of resilience, which means identifying the risks, establishing best practice IT protections and creating effective response plans—all with the goal of achieving a successful recovery.
