About

We believe that traditional security paradigms—focused primarily on prevention and threat elimination—are fundamentally inadequate for the modern threat landscape.

Our mission is to establish cyber resilience as a core organizational competency, shifting the conversation from “how do we prevent attacks” to “how do we ensure our mission survives despite attacks.”

Through this manifesto, we aim to provide practitioners and leaders with a practical framework for building organizations that can anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to adverse conditions.

The Cyber Resilience Manifesto emerged from real-world experience. After witnessing countless organizations struggle to recover from incidents despite significant investments in preventive security, a coalition of CISOs, risk officers, and practitioners came together.

We asked a simple but profound question: What if we stopped measuring success by threats prevented and started measuring it by mission continuity achieved?

This question led to the development of a framework that prioritizes operational survivability, graceful degradation, and accelerated recovery over theoretical perfect security.
