SSCC webinar on Cyber Resilience June 11th, 2024 Stability is at the core of the healthy development of society, whether it is cultural, economical, or related to the well-being of people. In order to reach stability, society should be resilient to incidents, interference, or attacks, let them be physical or cyber. Cyber resilience is characterized by the fact that it touches upon most of the aspects of our daily lives, while they can be easily attacked, using little budgets, from any place on the globe. Whereas cyber security aims to protect systems from cyber attacks, the objective of cyber resilience is to prevent organizations and systems from being derailed even in cases where the security of critical elements have already been compromised. Cyber resilience thus combines business continuity, information security and organizational resilience. As a result of cyber resilience, organizations and their systems are supposed to provide their services, even in cases of challenging cyber events, natural disasters, or economic crises. On the technical side cyber resilience involves, for example, zero-trust architectures that aim to minimize trust into technical components of the infrastructure. From the organisational point-of-view cyber resilience may include disaster exercise that aim to prepare the entire organisation from the technical experts up to the management for the worst. The goal of this webinar is to shed light on cyber resilience related aspects from different view angles. We will see technical measures that aim to improve resilience of systems themselves to more organizational measures that have the goal to absorb the impact even if technical security measures have been successfully circumvented by attackers.
