Organizations often rely heavily on industry best practices and standards to guide and reassure them in deciding how to enhance their cyber resilience posture. However, knowing what “good resilience” looks like in theory is proving a necessary but insufficient condition to drive meaningful improvements in the resilience of our increasingly digital enterprises and economies. To move the dial on better outcomes, we need to be willing to look below the surface of our network topologies and be radically curious about the human and interpersonal complexity we find underneath.

In this talk, Anne Leslie will delve into the intricate, unspoken dynamics that exist between diverse stakeholder groups with diverging incentives and competing interests, best-practice domain expertise, organizational processes, and defensive technologies in achieving robust cyber resilience, drawing on actionable insights from the disciplines of dispute resolution, negotiation, and psychology. By examining how individual and group identities, behaviors, emotions, and power dynamics collide in our organizations, she will offer participants a new mental model for thinking about how to drive better cyber resilience outcomes, with practical recommendations for navigating the complex decision-making and operational steering that underpin all cyber resilience-building efforts.
