What is cyber resilience?

As technology becomes more integrated into every aspect of life, cyber adversaries have unlimited opportunities to breach personal and company-related data. Hackers continually innovate new ways to attack even the most sophisticated cyber defenses. Traditional cybersecurity frameworks (such as National Institute of Standards and Technology's controls to identify, detect and respond) focus on hardening defenses and preventing attacks. But given the volume of data and assets to protect, it's no longer possible to eliminate all threats.

Cybersecurity resilience assumes a breach is inevitable and shifts the focus toward a holistic plan to anticipate, withstand, recover and adapt in the event of a catastrophic attack that compromises the entire IT ecosystem. When traditional business continuity and disaster recovery plans fail, a cyber-resilient approach helps organizations maintain mission-critical operations to minimize financial and reputational harm. 

Anticipate

Maintain a state of informed preparedness. 

Withstand

Continue essential functions despite adversity.

Recover

Restore critical functions during and after a breach. 

Adapt

Modify business functions based on changes in technical, operational or threat environments.

Building cyber resilience into an organization is an iterative journey will not happen overnight and cannot be solved with one technology solution. By leaning on cyber resilience best practices and continually adapting to the threat environment, organizations can build the capability to detect and recover from breaches successfully.

Security Priorities for 2023

A roadmap for securing the business and powering performance.

Anticipate critical threats and prevent breaches to build cybersecurity resilience 

The foundation of a cybersecurity resilience strategy begins with anticipating the attacks most likely to harm your organization. By looking at the business through the eyes of an adversary, security teams can predict, prevent and prepare for many threat scenarios. 

The process starts with determining the most business-critical applications and processes, the essential infrastructure that keeps the organization running. These are the assets your cyber resilience strategy and tactics will focus on to ensure business continuity in the event of a cyber attack. For example, a cyber resilient approach would prioritize weak spots in the payroll network — which would have enterprise-wide consequences if it were to be taken out — rather than putting more resources into securing guest Wi-Fi, a comparatively minor aspect of the business' IT ecosystem. 

Within the anticipate pillar, cyber intelligence and threat modeling help security teams proactively gather and analyze information to guide decision-making by identifying:  

  • Company assets that are the biggest targets.
  • Your organization's most likely adversaries.
  • Tactics bad actors could use to exploit vulnerabilities.
  • Weaknesses in the third-party supply chain.
  • The impact on the business if an attack was successful.

These processes help security teams determine the cost and benefit of addressing each of those threats and prioritize the budget and resources available. 

Practices such as identity and access management, network segmentation, vulnerability assessments, and user awareness training can be crucial to preventing breaches of your enterprise networks. 

Detect and withstand attacks with resilience in cyber  

Once an organization identifies the most likely attacks and biggest threats, the security team must plan how to detect and respond to a breach as quickly as possible and keep essential operations running. 

Playbooks, based on intelligence gathered in the anticipate phase of cybersecurity resilience planning, help define specific courses of action (COAs) to take during an attack. An incident response team with representatives from all key business lines should all have defined roles and action items. Regular tabletop exercise ensures that everyone is aware of their responsibilities and procedures can be updated as needed. 

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) and network detection and response (NDR) tools, along with security information and event monitoring (SIEM) platforms, use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to detect advanced threats early and can help security teams limit damage. In the midst of a breach, cyber deception tactics like honey pots can help lure adversaries away from valuable targets.

Adopt a Hacker Mentality to Stay Ahead of the Cyber Curve | WWT Experts

Today's threat landscape is broader than ever and cyberattacks are growing in volume and sophistication each and every day. In fact, hackers are launching new assaults at a clip of greater than one every minute of the day. Yet an alarming number of business leaders feel ill-prepared in the event a cyberattack hits their company. How can this be given the stakes involved? Join WWT Cyber Range Architect Brett Turner as he discusses what cyber threats pose the greatest risks to organizations this year and how companies can best address the expanding talent gap taking place in the cyber industry. Brett also talks about what it takes to become an ethical hacker and why dynamic, live-fire cyber exercises called Cyber Ranges could be your best bet to standing up to cyber criminals moving forward.

Recover data and applications with cyber vault

Many organizations have business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) plans in place that can restore data after a power outage or natural disaster. These plans are generally very broad and built for scenarios in which a single incident takes out a subset of applications, services or data. 

In the case of a catastrophic cyber attack such as ransomware, the entire IT ecosystem is at risk and organizations need the ability not only to restore data, but also the infrastructure needed to perform critical business functions, including applications, platforms, networks, account access, database services and access to cloud systems. 

When traditional DR plans fail, often due to malware infections of data systems, the data protection team needs to determine damages, restore capabilities and determine the reliability of the information recovered. A cyber vault can recover a recent and clean copy of these business-critical services and data. Cyber vault solutions create offsite duplicates to restore Active Directory (AD), Key Management Systems (KMS), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Domain Name System (DNS), VPNs, firewalls and authentication.

Top Trends Shaping Data Protection Strategies

WWT experts discuss emerging and current trends to consider when it comes to data protection.
Article
• Mar 2, 2023

Adapt and evolve your cybersecurity resilience best practices

After an attack, cyber resilient organizations analyze their response to adapt and improve their security approach for the future. Did cyber operations react effectively and efficiently? What systems or processes need to be re-architected from both technical and business perspective? 

This post-incident review may also involve phasing out legacy technology, re-examining which critical applications should move to the cloud and which should stay in the on-premise data center, and examining and adjusting security controls. Conducting regular risk assessments and monitoring emerging threats can also help shape your response. 

Based on this intelligence, update all cybersecurity resilience incident response plans, COAs and procedures accordingly.

Public Sector Tech Talk E06: Cyber Resiliency: How to Effectively Recover from a Cyber or Ransomware Attack

Cyber attacks against government agency and critical infrastructure networks are at an all-time high. Whether conducted by large-scale nation-state actors or "lone wolf" hackers, the data and information that resides in these networks is mission-critical and must be protected. With the release of the Cyber Executive Order (EO) in May and the $9.8 billion FY22 budget request for cybersecurity funding – just for federal civilian agencies – the Biden Administration is taking cybersecurity seriously. But what can agencies do when the inevitable happens? How can they most efficiently and effectively recover after a breach or attack? This episode focuses on cyber resiliency and the actions agencies can take to recover quickly.
