There is a growing realisation that it’s not enough to think about cyber security in the conventional sense of implementing defensive controls to harden systems and ward off attackers. Deter, detect, delay, and respond after the event is no longer enough.

Instead, we now need to ensure that our critical systems can withstand and rapidly recover from the disturbances and attempted incursions that are the inevitable result of their operation.

As we have all long recognised, it’s not a question of if your defences are breached, but when. The adversary only has get lucky once to break through your conventional defences, no matter how strong you think they are.

As the aftermath of recent high profile ransomware attacks has demonstrated, the consequences of a lack of resilience can be severe. The British Library was hacked in October 2023 and as of April 2026 its services remain only partially restored.

Join our panel of cyber resilience specialists for an interactive and informative introductory webinar to learn more about the differences between conventional cyber security and cyber resilience and what this might mean for your business and mission critical systems.
