Why Resilience Trumps Prevention
When you put your seatbelt on, you're not preventing a crash but reducing the risk of injury.
We accept this logic on the road, so why not in cyber-security? The average workforce has never been more cyber-aware.
Awareness is not the same as preparedness. Awareness alone doesn’t stop mistakes from happening, especially when people are tired, stressed, or under pressure.
In those moments, the likelihood of clicking a malicious link or handing over credentials rises sharply.
Bringing back the road safety parallel, road safety campaigns remind us of the risks of speeding or drink-driving, but we put motorists through some fairly rigorous learning and testing to prepare them for driving solo.
Just imagine the results if new drivers were only ‘made aware’ of the risks of the road.
And when an incident occurs, what ultimately saves lives are the safety features baked into the vehicle: seatbelts, airbags, and crumple zones.
Author's summary: Resilience is key to cyber-security.
