they’re the ones that recover faster
Key Discussion Topics

2A business-driven response model that aligns security, legal, and executive teams in real time

Core Key Insights
01
Cyber Risk Doesn't Stop at the Physical Battlefield.
Even when organizations face physical conflict, cyber threats remain a critical business concern. Organizations can become collateral targets regardless of their direct involvement. Boards must account for evolving threats and avoid allowing competing crises to push cybersecurity down the priority list. Cyber resilience must remain a priority, even when the crisis extends beyond cyberspace.
02
Cyber Resilience Must Account for People and Physical Assets.
In a crisis involving physical conflict, cyber risk extends beyond digital systems. Employee locations, physical facilities, distributed infrastructure, and sensitive data can introduce new vulnerabilities. Boards must consider these interconnected risks when assessing exposure and planning for recovery. Resilience requires a view of the digital, physical, and human layers of risk.
03
Know What Must Keep Running.
Organizations must identify their most critical systems, business processes, and operational assets before a crisis hits. Reliable backups, redundancy, and distributed resilience help protect essential functions, support recovery, and enable leaders to prioritize the right actions under pressure. Protect the crown jewels. Maintain critical operations. Build resilience across distributed assets.
