Cyber Resilience Blueprint

In partnership with the World Economic Forum Centre for Cybersecurity, the Centre is developing a Cyber Resilience Blueprint that will help organisations to maintain operational resilience in the face of rapidly evolving cybersecurity threats. 

Context: 

The global business community continues to grapple with increasingly complex and widespread cybersecurity risks to their business operations that extend throughout their core enterprise, supply chains and business outputs.

Small, medium and large-scale businesses need to develop holistic institutional cyber resilience to protect their operations, reduce incident recovery times, and establish sustainable business processes.  

There is currently a limited supply of resources that business leaders can use to comprehensively assess their resilience posture across the full scope of cyber threats they face.

Overview: 

The Cyber Resilience Blueprint seeks to establish a comprehensive guide the business community can leverage to strategically achieve institutional resilience within enterprises.

Objectives:  

1. Develop a common understanding of cyber resilience 
2. Establish key risk controls, threat scenarios, and systemise experiences 
3. Collect a set of use cases that demonstrate best practices on building cyber resilience

November 2024

In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, cyber threats are becoming increasingly complex. Recognising that individuals and organisations cannot prevent all malicious attacks or cyber failures, while embracing the opportunities that digital communication brings, has led to the rise of cyber resilience. This report unpacks the concept of cyber resilience, outlining the evolution of the cyber paradigm and establishes a concept of successful cyber resilience.

Cyber resilience goes beyond cybersecurity, preventing attacks or simply getting back to operations-as-usual – it is about an organisation’s ability to minimise the impact of significant cyber incidents on its primary goals and objectives. The primary goals and objectives can be different for each organisation but will always include the protection of critical service delivery, stakeholder confidence and the principal assets that underpin value and position in the market.
