What is Resilience?

Resilience, in the context of cybersecurity and IT, refers to an organization’s ability to withstand and recover from various adverse events, including cyberattacks, natural disasters, system failures, and operational disruptions. It involves implementing proactive measures to prevent and mitigate potential threats, as well as developing strategies for rapid response and recovery in the event of an incident. Resilience encompasses business continuity planning, disaster recovery, incident response, and the development of redundancy and failover mechanisms to ensure that critical systems and services remain available and functional even in challenging circumstances. Building resilience is crucial for maintaining the integrity, availability, and security of data and systems.
