Cyber Resilience
Prepared before it happens.
Resilience is not the absence of incidents. It is knowing what you will do, who decides, and how long it takes to get back — before you need the answer.
Responding
Threat monitoring, security incident management, forensics coordination, containment and recovery. Findings feed back into your controls through a lessons-learned step rather than closing with the ticket.
Preparing
Cyber incident response playbooks that say who does what, in what order, with which authority. Disaster recovery plans that are maintained rather than written once.
Exercising
Cyber recovery exercises that test the plan against a realistic scenario, so gaps surface during a rehearsal instead of during an incident.
Improving
Incident and recovery processes reviewed after each exercise and each real event, with owners and dates attached to the follow-up.
Questions worth being able to answer
-
1
Who has the authority to disconnect a production system, and can they be reached at 03:00?
-
2
How long would it take to restore the systems the business actually needs first?
-
3
When were your backups last restored, rather than last taken?
-
4
Which suppliers would you need in the room, and are those contacts current?
Next step
Test the plan before you need it
Start with a readiness assessment or a recovery exercise. Both produce the same thing: a short, specific list of what to fix.
