Protecting your business from cyber threats today means building a stronger tomorrow.
As we see firsthand, the digital backdrop has grown increasingly complex, and with it, the risks businesses face daily. AI-powered threats are more sophisticated, making it critical for organizations to evolve their cybersecurity strategies. While strong defenses remain essential, cyber resilience is about more than just prevention—it’s about ensuring rapid recovery and business continuity when an attack occurs.
Last month, in a roundtable discussion hosted by Ecosystm, a Singapore-based technology research firm, 11:11 Systems and HPE Zerto joined forces to discuss the importance of cyber resilience. The workshop covered emerging trends, best practices, and the need for worldclass partnerships.
This blog post summarizes the workshop’s findings on the importance of cyber resilience and the strategies necessary for success.
The New Standard in Cybersecurity
Modern cyber resilience requires a blend of advanced technologies and proactive strategies. Leading managed security service providers (MSSPs) offer tools like advanced threat detection, incident response, disaster recovery, and continuous monitoring to protect against evolving threats. These solutions don’t merely stop attacks—they also help businesses navigate regulatory challenges with ease, ensuring compliance while focusing on risk-based protection strategies.
“Recovery isn’t a one-time process; it often takes multiple attempts —sometimes five, six, or even ten — because you can’t always know which data is truly safe, requiring repeated forensics and validation.”
– Marc Beder, General Manager, 11:11 Systems APAC
Why Resilience Matters
With nearly 75 percent of cyber security professionals feel vulnerable to insider attacks believing a breach is inevitable, resilience is now non-negotiable. Companies must prioritize disaster recovery and business continuity plans to minimize downtime and protect customer trust.
Advanced practices, such as immutable backups and automated failover testing, are no longer luxuries—they’re essential components of a solid cyber resilience strategy. Organizations must adopt layered defenses and agile recovery measures to safeguard their operations.
Collaboration Breeds Strength
Building a cyber-resilient organization isn’t a solo endeavor. Today’s interconnected world requires businesses to partner with cybersecurity providers in collaborative ecosystems. These partnerships enable companies to benefit from expert insights and proactive solutions, helping foster a culture of cyber readiness. By working hand-in-hand with MSSPs and leveraging predictive analytics, continuous data protection strategies, and advanced behavioral analytics, businesses can proactively address vulnerabilities before they become crises.
The Path Forward
The evolving threat landscape demands a shift in how businesses approach their security strategies. Moving beyond compliance, organizations must adopt risk-based approaches and invest in tools that not only protect but enable rapid response and recovery. Cyber resilience must be woven into the fabric of a company’s operations, reinforced by trusted partnerships and a commitment to innovation.
Position your business for success by focusing on resilience and reliability to weather any storm. Collaborate with experts, leverage advanced tools, and adopt a forward-thinking strategy to safeguard your operations—because protecting today means building a stronger tomorrow.
