Cybersecurity Risks on the Rise: New Study Highlights Growing Need for Cyber Resilience in Business Environments

Strategic Insights -

As modern information and communication technologies become increasingly ubiquitous in everyday life and business environments, so too does the risk of their abuse, according to a new study from the University of Zilina. The research emphasizes the importance of cyber resilience in mitigating these risks, particularly in the context of crisis management. The study proposes a Cyber Resilience Model for implementation in the structures of the Slovak Republic, with the potential for broader applicability across the European Union.

Key Takeaways:

  • The use of modern information and communication technologies has become common in business environments and everyday life, but this has also increased the risk of their abuse.
  • The study highlights the importance of cyber resilience, particularly in the context of crisis management, and proposes a Cyber Resilience Model for implementation in the Slovak Republic.
  • The model aims to increase the level of cyber resilience through the implementation of normative acts of cyber security and the NIS2 directive.
  • The study concludes that the findings have the potential to be applied in other European Union countries, as the principles of cyber security and legislation apply to all EU countries.
  • Financial supporters for the research include the Eu Recovery And Resilience Plan For Slovakia and Nextgenerationeu.
  • The study's definition of cyber resilience has not received sufficient attention, and there are many different definitions in use.
