Synopsis
The nature of today’s sophisticated attacks means that organisations must prepare now to deal with severe impacts from cyber threats that cannot always be predicted or prevented. There is no ‘silver bullet’ solution, rather a strategy of cyber resilience is needed to deliver the agility to prevent, detect and respond quickly and effectively, not just to incidents, but also to the consequences of the incidents.
