Looking to project where the industry is going, the Business Continuity Institute has released a report titled “Evolution of the Resilience Profession over the Next Five Years.” Providing multiple views into the field of business continuity, as well as disaster recovery and resilience, the report also discusses new and emerging trends that business continuity, IT, and cybersecurity professionals will all need consider within their plans, as reported by an article in Tech Target.
Ranging from the local, in the form of topics like increasing agility with new tools and the outsourcing of business continuity training, to the international, via supply chain disruptions and the potential impacts of climate change, this summary of the report provides considerable opportunities for discussion. While not every company will face each challenge listed, every organization will need to respond to at least some of the projected threats and risks — the increasing formalization of hybrid working agreements and the growing presence of more sophisticated ransomware attacks are examples which even the smallest of companies may need to consider.
As with the last 40 years of business continuity planning, the next five years are sure to be filled with their own surprises.
