What is cyber resilience?
Definition
Cyber resilience is an organization’s ability to prevent, withstand and recover from cybersecurity incidents. Unlike traditional cybersecurity that focuses on preventing attacks, cyber resilience assumes that incidents are inevitable and focuses on minimizing their impact on business operations.
Cyber resilience combines three pillars:
- Business continuity (BCP/DRP) — maintaining critical business processes
- Information security — protecting confidentiality, integrity and availability
- Organizational resilience — ability to adapt and learn from incidents
NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)
Six core functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover. Each function addresses a critical aspect of building and maintaining cyber resilience across the organization.
Key data (Cost of a Data Breach 2025)
- Average global breach cost: USD 4.44 million
- US organizations: record USD 10.22 million per incident
- Organizations with AI in security operations save USD 1.9 million per incident
- 97% of organizations with AI incidents lacked proper AI access controls
