What is Digital resilience? Definition and explanations

Digital resilience is an organisation's ability to keep operating during a disruption of its systems, then return to normal. It goes beyond security: it takes in technical redundancy, fallback procedures, manual degraded modes, crisis communication and supplier dependency. It is measured by actual recovery time, not by the intentions written in the plan.

In one sentence

Digital resilience is the ability to keep operating through a disruption, then recover from it.
