True cyber resilience means having a plan that could protect data and systems as they evolve and minimizing damage and disruption that could come from new threats. It means addressing the life cycle of data as it is created, dispersed and stored as well as building resilience into every step
This report is based on a Forbes Insights and IBM survey of 353 executives across the globe, which reveals a significant disconnect between how executives view resilience and responsibility when it comes to the gray areas of their expanding technology ecosystems. The survey focuses on the three areas where perception gaps and blind spots may be causing the greatest confusion and disappointment when it comes to cyber resilience:
