“With the current business landscape characterised by multiple crises, it is crucial for businesses to implement a robust resilience strategy. Our solutions offer extensive support throughout the resilience lifecycle, ensuring preparedness, response, and recovery.”

The past years have presented a challenging business landscape characterized by geopolitical instabilities, disrupted supply chains, inflation or the climate crisis. And with the increasing reliance on digital technologies, cyber threats have become a major concern for companies. Cyber-attacks, data breaches, and ransomware incidents pose significant risks to corporate assets, sensitive information, and operational continuity. In addition, companies have faced significant challenges due to regulatory risks stemming from directives and regulations introduced by the EU. Three notable regulations were the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), the NIS2 Directive, and the Supply Chain Act. Risk and resilience strategies need to encompass the interpretation and implementation of these regulations, as well as ongoing monitoring and evaluation of compliance measures. With the current business landscape characterized by multiple crises and an unstable environment, businesses must implement a robust resilience strategy.
