Overview
ISSA is excited to announce the launch of the first Cyber Resilience Awareness Day for the community, led by the ISSA Cyber Resilience SIG, on October the 16th of 2024.
The Cyber Resilience Awareness Day aims at demystifying key concepts and go beyond the buzzwords by providing a clear and actionable understanding of what being “cyber resilient” means and what frameworks and tools can be used to support implementation strategies.
In fact, cyber resilience is an extension of information security and an evolution of operational resilience. It is “the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to adverse conditions, stresses, attacks, or compromises on systems that use or are enabled by cyber resources. While these terms are familiar to few experience professionals, the shared understanding of the community is still at an early maturity stage.
The conference will be hosted online and free for everyone. It will involve expert-led webinars and success stories and is aimed not only for cyber resilience practitioners but also leadership, CISOs and for those who are just starting their journey in building a cyber resilience program.
