Systemic cyber resilience

Businesses are increasingly reliant on data and technology to maintain their competitive advantage. While we are all aware of the need for strong firewalls, passwords, and patching systems, building systemic resilience requires focus on people and processes too.

Cyber insecurity is one of the most concerning global risks but too many businesses focus only on systems and technical controls. Cyber incidents can cause disruption and result in financial losses, major business interruption, fines, and broken reputations. Every business is exposed to cyber risk; it cannot be eliminated. The solution is to become resilient through anticipating, preparing, and adapting to the reality of cyber risk.

Cyber risk is ever-changing and can be a minefield of technical language and jargon. Our UK Cyber Resilience team can support you through these challenges to assess, manage and protect you from cyber risks. This means working collaboratively and providing solutions that are targeted to your business needs and future plans.

The starting point is often understanding where you are on your cyber resilience journey through our cyber risk health check, or by quantifying your exposure to cyber risks. The actions that need to be taken over the short, medium, and long-term are identified and agreed, to develop systemic cyber resilience. Improving processes and developing cyber awareness through user and leadership awareness sessions, policy reviews, incident response planning and exercising also builds resilience. Our cyber resilience team can help with it all and deliver vulnerability management, penetration testing, managed security services and implement product security too.
