The Difference Between a Security Checklist and a Resilient Business

Look around your organization. Do you have a firewall? Antivirus software? Multi-factor authentication? If the answer is “Yes,” you have a security checklist. You have acquired “things.”

If you can confidently state how quickly your business could resume operations after a crippling ransomware attack, how integrated your defense systems are, and that your security strategy aligns perfectly with your business continuity plan, then you have a resilient business.

In today’s high-stakes environment, insurers are no longer writing blank checks.
