Resiliency Starts at Home

I have a long-standing New Year’s resolution but am not always successful in keeping it! Does this sound familiar? As disasters seem to increase around the world and in the US year after year, we face the ever-present threat of a catastrophe occurring close to home as well, and so we acknowledge that keeping the family’s emergency go-bags current is important but takes time. Read some great insights from our Expert this week, Fiona Raymond-Cox, on how to be prepared for the unexpected.

DRII Releases 7th Annual Predictions Report

The DRI International Future Vision Committee has released its 7th Annual Predictions Report, looking ahead to 2022 and its impact on the resilience community. As the complexity of global IT networks and platforms grow exponentially, the dependency of business, public services and individuals grows at the same rate. Failure of key parts of this technical infrastructure will disrupt the provision of vital services and threaten the livelihoods of people, organizations, and communities across the world. Effective defenses will be hard to come by. Artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies are particularly vulnerable to criminal infiltration. Download the complete report free from the DRI Library, and read on for a prediction about the cascading effects of a global IT platform crash.

BCI Cyber Resilience Report 2021

This report, sponsored by Fusion Risk Management, was last published four years ago, and we are pleased to reintroduce it into our portfolio at a time when Cyber Resilience is receiving increased attention in organizations due to rising levels of cyber crime.

The aim of this publication is to benchmark disruption levels and Cyber Resilience arrangements across organizations. It is also delving into more detail about reporting and the role of the senior executive in cyber resilience strategies.

This year, interviewees of the report commented that their organizations had been targeted more in the last we months. However, organizations seem to be better prepared in preventing cyber attacks thanks to better cyber security systems in place, more staff dedicated to Cyber Resilience and more extensive training and exercising programmes. The report also found that the losses incurred as a result of cyber-crime are directly proportional to the amount of organizational investment in cyber security.
