Reading the guidance is the first step. Turning it into operational readiness is the next.
Leaders should use this guidance to:
- test whether current plans hold up under severe cyber threat conditions
- identify decisions that would be hardest to make under pressure
- ensure those decisions are owned, understood, and rehearsed
Then, embed the learning into your business continuity and resilience plans.
The organisations that fare best in severe cyber incidents are those that have put in place the steps needed to withstand and recover from disruption – protecting essential services, business continuity, and their bottom line.
