Cyber resilience, as defined by IBM, is the “ability to continue delivering intended outcomes despite experiencing challenging cyber events, such as cyberattacks, natural disasters or economic slumps. A measured level of information security proficiency and resilience affects how well an organization can continue business operations with little to no downtime, in other words.”?

Your cyber resilience strategy affects all areas of your business, not just security. With a strong cyber resilience strategy, you can reduce the risk of financial loss, gain customer or client trust, put yourself in front of the competition, and save yourself the headache and stress of data loss and downtime.??

In an ever-evolving landscape of technological threats, identifying potential vulnerabilities can save you time, money, and move your company forward.??

However, you can’t improve your cyber resilience strategy if you don’t know where you stand. That’s where an InfoSystems Cyber Resilience Analysis comes in.
