Webinar - Building Cyber Resilience - Practical Steps

Building Cyber Resilience – Practical Steps for Reducing the Likelihood and Impact of a Cyber Breach

In this webinar, we explored how organisations could strengthen their cyber resilience in an age where cyber threats were growing increasingly sophisticated and difficult to prevent entirely. Rather than focusing solely on stopping attacks, the session examined how organisations could minimise their impact and recover swiftly when incidents occurred.

Through real-world examples and proven methods, we demonstrated how resilience could be embedded across people, processes, technology, and supply chains — ultimately reducing financial, reputational, and human impacts when cyber incidents happened.

What We Covered

The Current Cyber Threat Landscape
We reviewed the latest trends and tactics shaping today’s threat environment, highlighted common weaknesses and emerging risks across sectors, and discussed the true costs of breaches — including impacts on brand, trust, and employee wellbeing.

Cost-effective Approaches and Practical Steps for Strengthening Defences
The webinar outlined practical actions and essential measures that organisations should take to reduce the likelihood of a breach.
Key themes included:

Governance: How adopting a risk-based approach helped prioritise protection and support cost-effective remediation.

Culture: Ways organisations successfully embedded security awareness and responsibility at all levels.

Technology: The importance of layered protection, continuous monitoring, and regular patching.

Operations & Supply Chain: Effective techniques for managing supplier risks and integrating supply chain resilience into broader strategies.

Each topic included actionable tips and lessons from practice, showcasing what truly worked in building stronger resilience postures.

Preparing for the Inevitable: Minimising Impact When a Breach Occurs
We discussed what cyber resilience looked like when things went wrong, including how to structure and test incident response plans, make decisions under pressure, communicate effectively, maintain business continuity, and support employees during and after an incident.
We also shared key lessons learned from organisations that had experienced significant cyber events.
