Moreover, highly resilient organizations demonstrate
a broader risk perspective, focusing not only
on their internal posture but also on external
dependencies across their ecosystem. Survey
data shows that supply chain exposure ranks as
the top cyber risk concern among high-resilience organizations, whereas moderately resilient and
insufficiently resilient organizations ranked it only
fifth (see Table 5). This suggests that more mature
organizations are increasingly recognizing that their
resilience depends as much on the strength of their
partners as on their own defences.Crisis management
Resilient organizations have crisis plans and
playbooks in place and regularly conduct
ecosystem-wide exercises. According to survey
data, 44% of highly resilient organizations simulate
cyber incidents with their ecosystem partners,
compared to only 16% of insufficiently resilient
ones. They are also significantly better prepared for
incident response and recovery – only 15% of highly
resilient organizations report insufficient planning in
this area, versus 37% of less resilient organizations.Ecosystem engagement
Highly resilient organizations are more proactive
in engaging their entire ecosystem: 53% share
cybersecurity information with partners (compared
to 31% of insufficiently resilient organizations);
74% assess the security of their suppliers (versus
48%); and 44% map their ecosystem and evaluate
partners’ exposure to risk (versus 23%).
