BBBuuuiiillldddiiinnnggg OOOrrrgggaaannniiisssaaatttiiiooonnnaaalll RRReeesssiiillliiieeennnccceee To be successful in managing today’s business challenges, organisations need to be ahead of the game. This is where Detecting, Deterring, Delaying, Responding and Recovering to threats delivers value to any business. However in order to benefit from that value organisatiosn must Plan, Prepare, Respond and Recover

In today’s dynamic world the conventional view of the security of organisations has morphed from that of guards, gates and alarms through firewalls, encryption and OH&S to reach the current concept of “building organisational resilience”. Far less focus is being placed on the traditional concepts of protection of assets; rather attention is now focused on the functions and capabilities that those assets yield. The concept of organisational resilience is centred on sustaining capabilities rather than protecting assets.
