On this week's Tech Takeaways, we look at Cyber Resilience planning. In a world where businesses spend an increasing amount on cyber security tools to stop incidents, we are finding very few have developed specific plans to deal with the impact of one happening. Businesses have plans for handling catastrophic incidents that wipe out buildings and even towns and cities, yet they often don't have one for the far more likely occurrence of ransomware or a data breach.

Join Jason, Paul and Wayne as they discuss why you need a cyber resilience plan, what it entails and how you start to put one together.
