Cyber Resilience in Times of Global Instability – ISF Rapid Response
"In times of crisis, decisive leadership and the muscle memory to act under pressure often define the difference between success and failure."
Middle East instability is not a regional crisis. It is a global business crisis, and it is already impacting your organisation whether you know it or not.
Act today to make sure you have the luxury of doing business tomorrow.
When oil and gas prices spike, when goods stop moving through ports, when a supplier in an affected region goes dark – your operations feel it. Espionage, disruption and profit increasingly overlap, meaning Middle East instability spills over into global consequences for every organisation with a digital footprint.
ISF works with governments and critical national infrastructure organisations across the world, and we are seeing a significant increase in demand from organisations that want to work with us in this space. In response we have opened accelerated paths to accessing critical ISF tools and expertise. Those that move now will have the head start that others will be scrambling for.
Are you asking the right questions?
Every organisation believes it is prepared. Most discover otherwise only when it is too late. These are the questions your leadership team should be able to answer today:
- When did you last independently assess the cyber resilience of your critical suppliers?
If you can’t answer that immediately, the answer is: not recently enough. - Has your disaster recovery plan ever been tested against a conflict-driven supply chain collapse?
If not, it is not a plan. It is a document. - Does your leadership team know what to do in the first 60 minutes of a major cyber attack?
Most boards avoid this question. The honest answer is uncomfortable. - Do you know the point at which your business stops functioning?
55% of tested organisations have not identified their minimum viable company.
