Business Resilience: Effective Security Concepts
Dealing with real cyber threats and IT downtimes of any kind as well as disrupted supply chains or other physical events requires effective management – at both, operational and regulatory levels. Today, however, business resilience must do far more than "simply" mitigate downtime in crisis situations.
Requirements such as NIS2, DORA, and increasing audit obligations necessitate that resilience be measurable and verifiable. This means demonstrating the effectiveness of security concepts, testing them regularly, and continuously improving them.
Business Continuity Management (BCM) combines risk management, technical resilience (such as IT disaster recovery planning), crisis management, and governance and compliance into an integrated management model.
Anyone responsible for risk, IT, or the entire business today needs reliable answers to the question: Will our business be mapped in a recovery scenario so that we can resume deliveries to our customers as quickly as possible—and prevent unforeseen losses and reputational damage?
Business Continuity Management – From Analysis to Demonstrable Resilience
This presentation uses a modular approach to demonstrate how organizations can implement and develop Business Continuity Management in a structured way.
It illustrates how a combination of Business Impact Analyses, Risk Analyses, and Emergency and Recovery Planning creates
- transparency
- operational capability and
- verifiable resilience.
You will learn practical ways in which companies can meet regulatory requirements and sustainably improve their resilience to crises.

- BCM: Challenges & Requirements
