Operationalizing Cyber Resilience Under Pressure

ROUNDTABLE
25 March 2026 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm GMT
IN PARTNERSHIP

If a destructive ransomware attack disrupted your organization tomorrow, could you sustain critical operations, contain the threat, and restore systems to a verified trusted state and demonstrate measurable resilience to the board?

Cyber resilience has become a board-level priority, yet many organisations are still treating it as a technology purchase rather than an operational capability they must establish.

As ransomware attacks grow more destructive and targeted, leaders continue to face a structural gap between strategy and execution driven by fragmented ownership, conflicting priorities, and longstanding friction between Security and IT Operations creating dangerous blind spots.

This raises a critical question: why have traditional cybersecurity and business continuity approaches often failed to deliver real resilience against destructive cyberattacks?

In practical terms, cyber resilience is not perfect prevention or a standalone recovery plan. It is the ability to sustain critical operations during a destructive cyberattack; identifying impact, containing threats, eradicating root cause, and restoring systems to a verified trusted state at speed.

Cyber resilience is not a control or a product; it is an operational capability built through preparation, coordinated decision-making, tested processes, cross-functional muscle memory, and shared enterprise accountability.

The roundtable will focus on how to move from a reactive, often untested and siloed model to a shared-responsibility operating model where investigation, containment, eradication and recovery can be aligned end-to-end.
