For a long time, security meant keeping attackers out. Adrian Marti, who leads cyber security work at Eraneos in Switzerland, explains why that thinking no longer holds. In this Progress Makers conversation he makes the case for a shift from pure defence to resilience. Attacks will happen at some point, so the real question is how quickly you can get back on your feet and keep the organisation running. He talks openly about the role AI now plays on both sides, why resilience has become a boardroom subject rather than an IT one, and what leaders can actually do about it. He calls resilience the life insurance of an organisation, and shares three practical steps to start with tomorrow.
In this conversation:
- Why the goal is recovery and continuity, not only prevention
- How AI is speeding things up for both attackers and defenders
- Three first steps: a crisis simulation, a closer look at key suppliers, and a culture where incidents get reported
