Achieving business protection by building organisational resilience
Organizational Resilience is an organisation's ability to respond rapidly to extraordinary change, or chaotic disruption, bouncing back, enabling functionality anytime, anywhere to deliver the organisations mission and objectives.
- Successful organisations are equipped to maintain core functions and capitalise upon opportunities that arise out of disruption.
- To Detect, Deter, Delay, Respond to and Recover from threats & risks delivers value.
- To benefit from that value organisations must Plan, Prepare, React, Respond and Recover.
- Conventional views of securing organisations have morphed from guards, gates and alarms through firewalls, encryption and safety to the concept of "organisational resilience".
- Focus is now aimed at the functions and capabilities those assets yield, rather than the traditional model of protection of assets.
- Organisational resilience concentrates on sustaining organisational capabilities over protection of assets.
