## Resource

True digital resilience requires moving beyond simple prevention to a strategy focused on recovery. Edwin Weijdema explains why modern businesses must design systems that can withstand and rapidly restore operations after an inevitable cyber incident.

## Highlights
- Main idea: Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT problem; it is a fundamental business continuity requirement
- Failure mode: Focusing solely on prevention leaves organizations helpless when a breach inevitably bypasses security layers
- Practical takeaway: Implement the 'security triangle' of People, Process, and Technology to build a holistic defense
- Main idea: The shift to remote work and digital-first commerce has expanded the attack surface and increased the impact of downtime
- Practical takeaway: Modern security strategy must prioritize the ability to detect, respond, and recover, not just protect
