Ability to prepare for, withstand, recover from, and adapt to adverse events and disruptions.
Resilience is the ability to anticipate, prepare for, withstand, and recover from disruptions—whether cyber attacks, natural disasters, or other adverse events. Resilience goes beyond prevention to encompass response and recovery. Resilient organisations can continue operations during incidents, recover quickly, and learn from events to improve. For CNI, resilience is essential—complete prevention is impossible, so the ability to maintain services during and after attacks is critical.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
You can't prevent all incidents. Resilience ensures you survive and recover. Build resilience through redundancy, tested recovery plans, and adaptive capability. Resilience is as important as prevention.
