Business resilience refers to the ability of enterprises to adapt to a continuously changing business environment. Business resilience helps organizations maintain continuous operations and protect their market share in the face of disruptions such as natural or man-made disasters. It requires the engagement of everyone in the organization and often means a change in corporate culture to instill awareness of risk. Business resilience planning is distinguished from enterprise risk management (ERM) in that it is more likely to build capacity to seize opportunities created by unexpected events. 3

The continuous flow of information is inseparable from the operational performance of the business The Facts § Information technology is often at the epicenter of how a firm interacts with its clients § Information technology is always a lever to produce highly efficient supply chains, operations and workflows § In combination, these two dynamics generate an explosive growth of managed data The Implications § Business resilience and information risk management are commonly on the agenda of the board of directors § Firms must assess: Are we compliant? Are we reliable? Can we be trusted? § Firms must decide how resilient they wish to be – contextualized in the availability, security and recoverability of their business operations § Firms must evaluate the extent to which competitive advantage or disadvantage is influenced by their chosen resilience standing 5
