OR Core Component [2] Cyber Resilience

Operational Resilience Core Component [2]: Cyber Resilience

Operational resilience encompasses an organization's ability to withstand and adapt to disruptions, including cyberattacks.

Cyber resilience is a crucial component of operational resilience, as the modern business environment relies on interconnected systems and technologies.

Building robust cyber resilience contributes significantly to an organisation's ability to withstand disruptions and maintain operations during cyber incidents or other crises.

Cyber resilience focuses on an organization's capacity to maintain its core functions and quickly recover from cyber threats or incidents.

These factors show how OR and Cyber Resilience are related.

Interconnectedness

Many operational functions rely heavily on digital systems and technologies. A cyberattack can disrupt these systems, affecting an organization's operational capabilities.

Operational resilience involves having plans to mitigate the impact of such cyber incidents on day-to-day operations.

Risk Management

Both cyber resilience and operational resilience involve risk assessment and mitigation.

While cyber resilience centres on protecting systems and data from cyber threats, operational resilience considers the broader impact of those threats on the organisation's overall functioning.

Response and Recovery

A cyber incident can severely hamper an organization's operations.

Operational resilience strategies include response and recovery plans that consider restoring IT systems and ensuring the continuation of critical business functions, customer service, and supply chain operations.

Business Continuity

Operational resilience ensures business continuity in various disruptions, including cyber incidents.

This involves technological aspects and addressing the people, processes, and governance necessary to keep the business running.

Adaptability and Flexibility

Both cyber resilience and operational resilience require adaptability and flexibility.

Organisations must continuously evolve their strategies, systems, and response plans to keep up with evolving cyber threats and operational landscapes.
