To truly be resilient, today’s organizations must do more than maximize the power of their security stack – they must maximize the power of their security team, and of their entire workforce. A mindset shift is required. But how? Let’s examine and learn from one country’s phenomenal and rapid transformation into a security culture in the wake of one of history’s most notorious nation state cyberattacks.

This year, the working world has had no choice but to rapidly evolve. Navigating uncertainty and complexity has become the norm. Resilience is about more than disaster recovery, business continuity, incident response. What role can cybersecurity leaders play in building and maintaining operating platforms and workforces that bend but don't break. 

With 20 years of fast and far-reaching digital transformation in the rear-view mirror, many industries and organizations are now finally taking stock of what's changed and what hasn't. What does it mean to conduct a post-transformation risk assessment?

Security professionals often see their mission as making not just an individual enterprise but the whole world safer for commerce, communication and community interaction. But cybersecurity’s democratization remains a long way off — and the gap separating those that do and don’t consider it a core function — and those that can and can’t afford strong protection — is wide. Security requires awareness of all participants in the business ecosystem.
