How to build cyber resilience: trends, challenges and strategies

Cyber incidents show that vulnerabilities can disrupt businesses despite strong security. A cyber resilience strategy is vital to adapt and recover quickly, ensuring business continuity in a digital world.

By 2025, the global cost of cybercrime is projected to reach $10.5t, growing at a rate of 15% annually. ¹

Last year, the FBI saw a 10% increase in complaints and a 22% increase in losses suffered — now $12.5b per year. Nearly a third (32%) of these incidents involve some type of extortion scheme, such as ransomware.  

Growing use of external advisors: Disclosures about a company’s use of an external independent cyber advisor more than doubled from 43% in 2023 to 87% in 2024, and 10% reported that their boards engage with one.
