Why your business needs a cyber resilience plan for 2026
Cyber resilience matters! So here's why you really should have an updated cyber resilience plan in 2026. We explain how to prepare, respond, and recover fast when systems fail so you can keep your business moving, whatever happens ... Cyber resilience plan, Shielding against attacks, Keeping your security strong! We've all seen the recent headlines about businesses collapsing offline due to cyberattacks, which is why a robust cyber resilience plan belongs at the heart of how any business operates in 2026. We're not just talking about tools; it's about the ability to keep serving customers when systems stall, to protect revenue when your email goes down, and to recover cleanly when ransomware tries to lock you out. Start with clear thinking about business continuity!Remember, staying online is only one part; staying operational is the real milestone. You should map your most critical services, model realistic failure scenarios, and decide in advance what you'll sacrifice to keep the essentials running. That means prioritising payments, communications, and customer portals, while re-routing workloads and maintaining trust when the pressure mounts. Build resilience by designing for failure - not merely preventing it - and include offline recovery plans that work when identity providers, cloud consoles, or networks are unavailable.Many IT professionals talk about backups, but do you know when your last backup was taken? And what did it include? Can it be restored quickly and easily if your data was corrupted by a cyber intrusion? Do you have secure off-site copies, too? Are there well-documented, printed workflows that kick in when screens go black? You should always treat recovery time and recovery point objectives as board-level commitments, not just technical footnotes.
