 Utilising information security to improve resilienceJennifer Bayuk and Kenneth Silverstein Journal of Business Continuity & Emergency Planning, 2007, vol. 2, issue 1, 7-12 Abstract: When it comes to cyber-related events, the information security professional plays the same role as the business recovery professional. The more the business process recovery professional is closely tied to information security activities within the organisation, the more influence they will have on the development of information security countermeasures. This influence will allow these countermeasures to be better suited to the needs of the business process recovery programme. While the business recovery processes and the information security processes may, in most cases, be separate and distinct, it is vital that they be linked in order to provide the greatest level of resiliency. This paper will provide the framework for how to plan and address the effects of cyber-attacks to technology systems. In addition, the paper will also discuss the role of the information security professional in non-cyberrelated events. In all events, it is vital that the role of information security be incorporated in the organisation’s business recovery processes.
