This document discusses the growing threat of cyber attacks and the need for organizations to build cyber resilience. It notes that financial institutions in particular may have become distracted from cyber risks in recent years. The key issues outlined are that cyber attacks represent an undeclared war, failures can be silent, risk is challenging to analyze, and cyber risk is systemic. It defines cyber resistance as having secure design, mature controls, good risk decisions and other practices, while cyber resilience relies more on situational awareness, technical agility, and organizational readiness to solve problems. Building successful cyber programs requires addressing all of these aspects through specialist practices and developing capabilities ahead of standards.
