Recent incidents, outages, and regulatory assessments are beginning to surface this long-ignored layer as a material risk to operational resilience. Regulators are not prescribing specific technologies, but they are increasingly scrutinising whether organisations have identified and addressed systemic weaknesses in the foundations of their digital environments particularly in hybrid and cloud architectures.

 

This session examines how threat actors exploit these overlooked dependencies, why they represent a growing cyber resilience blind spot, and how aligning with proven resilience best practices provides a defensible way to meet regulatory and compliance expectations. Attendees will gain practical insight into reassessing foundational risk and strengthening resilience in a way that stands up to incidents, audits, and executive scrutiny.
