# Cyber Resilience Compass

Cyber inequity is on the rise among organizations, with a growing divide between organizations that are cyber resilient and those that are not. This is further exacerbated by the need to innovate new products which harness cutting edge technology, making the orchestration of effective cyber risk controls an increasingly complex challenge. To deliver cyber resilience in the future, it is key to learn lessons from today and adapt organizations to successfully confront evolving threats and growing cyber-inequity of tomorrow.In collaboration with the Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre (GCSCC) at the University of Oxford.
