How can I ensure business continuity after a cyber attack?
In today's hyperconnected world, cybersecurity concerns and business continuity are inseparable. Every year cyberattacks and data breaches significantly disrupt an organisation—or even put it out of business—due to lost data, compromised personal or financial information, unplanned downtime, and other challenges. How can cyber-resilience and business continuity work together to minimise costs, protect data, and streamline a timely and effective response to any attacks or data breaches?

Companies now realise that security is not just a technology issue; it's a problem for everyone in the business and even the board of directors. Simply being security-conscious is no longer enough, nor is having a prevention-only strategy. Companies must become cyber-resilient—capable of surviving attacks, maintaining operations, and embracing new technologies in the face of evolving threats. This means establishing policies and processes that strike a balance between protecting critical assets, detecting compromises, and responding to incidents.

The Zero Trust model completely rethinks how we should be thinking about data, networks and what it means when a breach occurs versus being breached. Instead of assuming things are safe behind corporate firewalls or within internal network perimeters, this new approach assumes that everything has been compromised. Instilling a Zero Trust mindset throughout your organisation will ensure access to sensitive information is based only on specific policies and within the proper context.
