and systems are and having a clear plan
emergencies. This includes backing up all important data
it cannot be lost forever.
The second pillar,
, is about building strong barriers. This is where
cybersecurity tools like firewalls and anti-virus software are
. However, resilience goes further. It means designing systems
are flexible. For example, if one part of
network is attacked, it can be quickly separated
the rest of the network keeps running normally.
final and most critical pillar is Recovery. Even
strongest defenses can fail. Resilience ensures that when
system is breached, it can recover quickly and
. This might mean having teams ready to restore
-up data, fix the damaged software, and learn from
attack to make the system stronger for the
. By focusing on resilience, organizations aim for continuity,
that important services are always available, even after
