Steps Towards Achieving Operational Resilience

Risk Assessment

Conduct comprehensive risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities across all operational areas. Perform a business impact analysis (BIA) to determine critical functions and prioritize resources. Develop a resilience plan that includes prevention, response, recovery, and adaptation strategies. Embed cybersecurity best practices into daily operations, ensuring continuous monitoring and real-time defense. Regularly test and exercise the resilience plan to evaluate its effectiveness and update it based on lessons learned. Ensure clear communication lines with internal and external stakeholders for coordinated resilience efforts
