Cyber resilience is the ability to anticipate, protect against, withstand, and recover from adverse conditions, stresses, attacks, and compromises of cyber-enabled businesses. At Kyndryl, we offer an integrated approach that helps customers embed cyber resilience into the broader IT and operational strategy underpinned by cloud and zero-trust principles.

Implementing best practices for cyber resilience in enterprises involves a comprehensive strategy. Key actions include following frameworks like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, conducting maturity assessments to identify vulnerabilities, and covering essential areas such as risk management, business continuity, information security, incident response, and employee training. Staying updated on new cyber resilience regulations is also crucial as these practices become more standardized globally.

Assessing your organization's cyber readiness on a regular basis is the first step towards adopting a suitable cyber resilience strategy and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.

Start by identifying the potential risks and cyberattacks that could compromise your systems and data. Then, evaluate your current response plans, policies, and procedures to ensure they are up-to-date and effective. Make sure that your IT assets are secure and conduct regular vulnerability testing. Educate your employees on how to recognize and respond to potential threats and conduct regular security awareness training to ensure everyone is aware of the latest cyberattacks. Lastly, remediate your current plans and procedures to further improve your organization's resilience against future attacks.
