Business continuity planning has evolved beyond traditional disaster recovery to focus on cyber resilience, as modern disruptions from ransomware, identity breaches, or cloud failures can cascade across interconnected systems affecting operations, compliance, and customer access simultaneously. The Information Security Forum's latest framework emphasizes that effective continuity requires organizations to map their "minimum viable business" dependencies, integrate incident response with business operations, account for supplier and cloud vulnerabilities, and regularly test their resilience plans against realistic cyber scenarios. This shift recognizes that cyber resilience and risk management are now the foundation of business continuity, requiring coordination across security, IT, legal, communications, and board leadership to maintain critical operations when systems fail or data can't be trusted.
