Resilience is a Boardroom Priority

Cyber resilience is often mistaken for a technical problem that belongs exclusively to the basement server room. In reality it is a business survival skill that requires the full attention of the board of directors. When a breach happens the leadership team must understand their specific roles immediately. If executives are looking at the IT team for every single answer during a crisis the organization has already lost the initiative.

 

True preparation means every department from legal and HR to communications and finance knows their duty during the recovery phase. These non technical stakeholders are the ones who will protect the brand and manage the regulatory fallout while the engineers fix the systems. At OctopusCRX we see that the most resilient organizations are those where the executive suite has practiced their response until it becomes a natural part of their leadership style.

 

Managing the aftermath of an incident is about maintaining the confidence of your stakeholders and the continuity of your operations. This level of coordination does not happen by accident. It is the result of a deliberate strategy to integrate security into the core business culture. When the board takes ownership of resilience the entire organization becomes harder to break.
