What Is Business Resilience?
Search CIO, Wednesday, May 14th, 2025
Business resilience is an organization's ability to adapt quickly to disruptions while maintaining continuous business operations and safeguarding people, assets and overall brand equity.
Transcending disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity (BC), business resilience offers post-disaster strategies to avoid costly downtime, shore up vulnerabilities and maintain business operations in the face of additional, unexpected outages or security breaches.
Resilience strategies must address the need for business adaptability after an event. A key characteristic of resilient organizations, adaptability includes making changes to business operations, business models and decision-making to better respond to potential threats.
