Cyber Resilience Initiative 

Enabling collaboration and driving collective action to enhance cyber resilience across industries and regions.

We are developing forward-looking solutions and promoting effective practices to enhance cyber resilience across industries and regions

Public and private organizations are undergoing a fundamental transformation, increasingly relying on digital technologies, connectivity and shared services. While this transformation unlocks efficiency gains, it also introduces significant cyber risks that now organizations need to safeguard against. 

Cyber resilience – defined as the ability of an organization to minimize the impact of cyber incidents on its primary goals and objectives  – is increasingly recognized as a strategic business imperative. However, the prevailing geopolitical uncertainty, cyber inequity across supply chains and the rapidly changing technological landscape exacerbate the challenges in building and maintaining cyber resilience.
