Cyber resilience isn’t just about the tools you buy. It’s about knowing what you cannot afford to lose. 📊🛡️ In the final part of Episode 6 of the Resilience 3, 2, 1 series, host Brendon Rod asks Josh Mason for his definitive view on cyber resilience. Josh pulls from two unexpected disciplines, Stoicism and classic detective fiction, to change how executives view information security. Here are the core takeaways from the conversation: • The Stoic Approach to Infosec: Acknowledge that despite your best efforts, some disruptions are completely out of your control. Resilience is knowing what matters most so you can focus your limited time, money, and human resources where they have the biggest impact. • The "Smoke Bomb" Principle: Think of the Sherlock Holmes story where a fake fire drill reveals exactly where the high-value assets are kept. If you simulated a breach today, what specific data or asset would make your heart drop? That answer defines your highest risk. • Proactive Resource Alignment: Once you identify those core assets, you can construct a realistic plan that maximizes protection around what actually matters, rather than spreading your defense too thin. By shifting focus away from what you can't control and anchoring it on your organization's absolute necessities, you build true, data-driven resilience. #IAM #InfoSec #BusinessContinuity #Acsense
