Executive Summary
ADAPT gathered over 150 Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and security technology and services providers in April 2023 to debate the theme: “Crisis preparation and a resilient risk culture.” ADAPT’s accompanying Security Edge Survey revealed 62% of organisations have high alignment between their cyber and business resilience strategies.
However, this alignment is at risk. It is likely to decline sharply due to adverse patterns of behaviour closer to the coalface. Because organisational resilience influences economic resilience, these behavioural influenced business risks translate into national risks.
Australian security leaders can rely on these insights to:
- Elevate people resilience to change behaviours before, during and after a crisis.
- Articulate the financial and technical risks to uplift systems resilience.
- Connect these behaviours and tactics to the value in organisational resilience.
To act on these insights, CISOs should increase collaboration and align with the priorities of the CIO and CFO counterparts. For further details on elevating organisational resilience, see the forthcoming report ADAPT’s Top Tactics to Drive Risk Maturity in 2023.
