Based on a survey of more than 4,700 executives globally, Accenture’s State of Cybersecurity Resilience 2021 study explores different types of leaders in cyber resilience. Due to the rapid increase in high-profile attacks and the sheer complexity of handling cybersecurity demands, Accenture also tested what difference it made to cyber resilience if there was a stronger alignment between cybersecurity practices and business strategy.
A cyber resilient business brings together the capabilities of cybersecurity, business continuity and enterprise resilience while embedding security across the business ecosystem and applying fluid security strategies to respond quickly to threats, so it can minimize the damage and continue to operate under attack. As a result, the cyber resilient business can securely introduce innovative offerings and business models across the entire value chain, strengthen customer trust, and grow with confidence, Accenture says.
