Cybersecurity consistently ranks as state CIOs’ top priority in IT. But resilience – the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to cyberattacks and disruptions, ensuring critical services continue despite adversity, and moving beyond prevention to focus on rapid response and continuity of operations when breaches inevitably occur – has not received the same kind of attention.

A report in November 2024 focusing on states’ efforts on resilience found that 69% of respondents in the state/local/education (SLED) sector acknowledged that cyber resilience is not a whole-organization priority and a majority of IT governance teams didn’t understand what cyber resilience is.

Learning Objectives:

Establish a working definition of resilience for your organization
Understand the complementary roles of cybersecurity and resilience in keeping agency systems operational in the event of a cyber attack
Evaluate ways to use SIEM and SOAR to strengthen your SOC’s performance
