Cyber resilience

The ability to keep operating through a cyber incident and recover afterwards.

What it means

Cyber resilience shifts the question from preventing incidents to withstanding them: what has to keep running, for how long it can be degraded, what the recovery path is, and who decides during the event.

It is a operational and governance discipline as much as a technical one. The decisions that determine how an incident goes — tolerances set, dependencies accepted, workarounds approved — are usually made long before it starts.

Where MyRISK fits

What we do about it

Those pre-incident decisions are exactly what Trace preserves, and they are the ones asked about afterwards: what was known, who had authority, what conditions applied and what had changed since.

MyRISK Trace

Is this the thing you are actually trying to fix?

A definition rarely settles it. Tell us what happened — the request, the finding, the challenge or the incident — and we will say where to start, or that it isn't us.
