General Session 7: Resilience in an Era of Disruption
We are living in an era of disruption where pandemics, social unrest, cyber-attacks, and geopolitical tensions have become the norm. Organizations can be equally disrupted by technological advances, like artificial intelligence (AI) or quantum computing, if they are not prepared. To survive in this era of disruption, organizations must shift from reactive approaches like traditional business continuity/disaster recovery (BCDR) models towards a holistic enterprise resilience model.
In this session, participants will:
Explore cyber and AI trends.
Gain an understanding of the impacts of disruption.
Examine regulatory focus on resilience.
Reflect on the differences between BCDR and enterprise resilience.
Learn about key considerations in an enterprise resilience model.
