Definition & Explanation

Cyber resilience

Cyber resilience refers to an organisation’s ability to anticipate, withstand, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents while maintaining critical operations. In Australia, cyber resilience is a regulatory priority, particularly under APRA CPS 234 and ACSC guidance. Cyber resilience extends beyond prevention to include incident response planning, business continuity, disaster recovery, and continuous monitoring. Organisations build cyber resilience through layered security controls, governance oversight, and regular testing such as penetration assessments and scenario simulations. By embedding cyber resilience into enterprise strategy, Australian businesses reduce downtime, protect customer trust, and maintain compliance in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.
