Building Cyber Resilience Into Day-to-Day Operations
23 January 2026
Cyber resilience should not exist as a separate initiative. It should be embedded into everyday IT operations and decision-making.
When resilience is treated as an ongoing practice rather than a project, it becomes sustainable.
Making Resilience Part of Routine Activity
Small, regular actions have the greatest impact.
Examples include:
- Monthly access reviews
- Scheduled backup and restore checks
- Routine patch verification
- Incident response walkthroughs
- Supplier risk reviews
These activities prevent drift and keep controls aligned with how the business actually operates.
Ownership and Accountability Matter
Resilience fails when responsibility is unclear.
Every organisation should know:
- Who owns cyber risk
- Who leads incident response
- Who communicates internally and externally
- Who makes recovery decisions
Clear ownership reduces confusion and speeds up response during incidents.
Measuring and Improving Over Time
Resilience is not static. It should be reviewed, tested and improved as the business evolves.
Metrics such as recovery times, incident frequency and recurring issues provide insight into where improvements are needed. Reviewing these regularly turns resilience into a measurable capability.
