Protecting What Matters Most: Building a Resilient Business (Part 1)

Cybersecurity Awareness Month is an opportunity for businesses to reflect on how well they are safeguarding the systems, data, and people that matter most. And the spotlight for this week is resilience.

This article launches our Cybersecurity Awareness Month series on Protecting What Matters Most: Building a Resilient Business. Each article in this series will explore a different aspect of resilience; from anticipating threats to adapting quickly, recovering effectively, and building a culture of vigilance.

Why Resilience?

Traditional security strategies often emphasize prevention. But attackers have become more dynamic, leveraging both technical exploits and social engineering to bypass controls. Campaigns like ClickFix, which weaponize user trust through fake CAPTCHAs and clipboard hijacking, remind us that prevention alone is never enough.

Resilience means being prepared to keep critical functions running, even when defenses are tested, or a breach occurs. For businesses, resilience is the foundation of trust, reputation, and continuity.

Key Dimensions of Business Resilience

1. Anticipation
       Threat intelligence and proactive testing to uncover vulnerabilities before attackers do.
   
2. Adaptation
       Real-time detection and rapid response     capabilities that evolve with adversary tactics.
   
3. Recovery
       Strong incident response plans, tested backups and continuity strategies to minimize downtime.        
4. Culture
       Empowering employees to recognize and resist manipulation, making human vigilance a core defense.
