What is Cyber Resilience?

Cyber Resilience is an organisation's ability to anticipate cyberattacks, withstand them, recover from them and maintain critical functions throughout.

Cyber Resilience goes beyond traditional cybersecurity: it describes an organisation's ability to maintain critical business functions during and after cyberattacks β€” through prevention, detection, response and recovery.

Cyber Resilience vs. Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity focuses on preventing attacks. Cyber Resilience accepts that attacks will occur and ensures the organisation remains operational regardless. While cybersecurity focuses on prevention, Cyber Resilience covers the full cycle: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover β€” per the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.

Assume Breach

Modern Cyber Resilience design assumes that attacks will succeed β€” and plans rapid recovery from the outset.

Cyber Resilience in the supply chain

An organisation's cyber resilience depends directly on the cyber resilience of its suppliers. Supply chain attacks β€” such as SolarWinds or Log4j β€” show that a compromised supplier can jeopardise the entire customer network. TPRM is therefore a critical building block for cyber resilience.

Supply chain as a weak point

62% of all data breaches originate in the supply chain β€” cyber resilience must therefore encompass the entire supply chain.

Regulatory requirements for Cyber Resilience

DORA defines operational digital resilience as a central regulatory objective. The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) sets requirements for the cybersecurity of connected products. NIS2 requires cyber hygiene and incident response as core requirements. 360TPRM supports cyber resilience through continuous supply chain monitoring.

Cyber Resilience Act

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) takes effect in 2027 and sets binding security requirements for manufacturers of connected products.

FAQ

What is Cyber Resilience?+

Cyber Resilience is an organisation's ability to anticipate cyberattacks, withstand them, recover and maintain critical functions throughout.

What is the difference between Cyber Resilience and Cybersecurity?+

Cybersecurity focuses on prevention. Cyber Resilience covers the full cycle: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover β€” and accepts that attacks will occur.

What does DORA require for Cyber Resilience?+

DORA requires operational digital resilience for financial entities: ICT risk management, resilience testing (TLPT), incident reporting and business continuity plans.
