Cyber resilience has for a long time been a major issue for business continuity professionals, with the  Business Continuity Institute’s Horizon Scan Report routinely featuring digital threats such as cyber attacks and data breaches as the greatest concerns.

Our news channels are often filled with stories of organizations that have had their services severely disrupted by these kind of events, and with the BCI’s latest Cyber Resilience Report revealing that almost two thirds of organizations experienced a cyber security incident during the previous year, it is clear that the threat is very real. Such is the topical nature of cyber resilience that it was chosen as the theme for the annual Business Continuity Awareness Week campaign.

The question is, how does your organization perceive the threat? Have you suffered from some form of cyber security incident during the last year, and what impact did it have on your organization? Do you feel you have adequate measures in place to deal with such an event, and perhaps just as importantly, do you have the backing of senior management to put measures in place to deal with them?

These are some of the questions the BCI is asking in order to inform the Cyber Resilience Report 2017, to be published later this year in collaboration with  Sungard Availability Services. Please do take the time to complete the survey. It will only take a few minutes and each respondent will be in with a chance of winning a £100 Amazon gift card.
