Cyber resilience is a practice, not a theory, making it essential to share real-world insights about what truly works. The Cyber Resilience Compass: Journeys Towards Resilience white paper delves into the practical aspects of cyber resilience, drawn from the front-line practices of leading organizations globally. In doing so, it seeks to equip organizations with the insights needed to build robust cyber resilience roadmaps and confidently navigate today’s increasingly complex threat landscape.

The paper emphasizes the need to move beyond technical solutions and develop comprehensive strategies that align with business objectives, systemizing front-line practice into seven pathways: leadership; governance, risk and compliance; people and culture; business processes; technical systems; crisis management; and ecosystem engagement. For each area, the paper outlines key practices and illustrative examples. This approach underscores the critical role of knowledge-sharing, establishing a foundation for continuous experience exchange and learning.
