Cyber Resilience as Deterrence

Sign up for this talk here, or for ALL sessions of the ISSA International Cyber Resilience Awareness Day Virtual Summit here: https://issa.brighttalk.com/summit/7595/ Public sector organizations and enterprises worldwide face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats that can disrupt operations, erode trust, and compromise mission success. Cyber resilience, defined as the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to cyber events is now a critical component of national, organizational, and digital security strategies. This session explores how cyber resilience strengthens deterrence and operational continuity across sectors by ensuring systems and data remain available, trustworthy, and secure - even under attack. Central to this is data centricity: treating data as the most valuable asset and ensuring its protection, governance, and accessibility at all times. By safeguarding data through classification, encryption, access control, and continuous monitoring - aligned with Zero Trust and proactive data security principles - organizations can deny adversaries the opportunity to disrupt essential services or degrade decision-making. Participants will gain insights into how building resilience at the data and system levels not only protects critical operations but also establishes confidence, credibility, and deterrence in a globally connected environment.
