Cyber resilience is a critical and hard to achieve facet of operational resilience. Trends in digital technology use and evolution of the threat ecosystem are amongst the drivers likely to make it increasingly more urgent, and difficult, to deliver. 

This article reflects on our current vulnerability, how global politics interplays with organizational risks, and the systemic issues we face. It argues that a renewed effort to enhance cyber resilience, as distinct from increasing data protection, is needed at both governmental and enterprise leadership levels.
