How Digital Operational Resilience and Cyber Risk allow Service Management practices to drive Value up to board-level.

Watch the video

 

Synopsis

The hostile realities of the cyber landscape make cloud services seem an attractive, modern, non-threatening alternative to the hard work and expense of doing it yourself. But when your firm has Important Business Services using technology outsourced to Third Parties, then these dependencies become Critical – yet YOU still retain all the risk! If you merely rely on traditional policies of detect, protect and retreat, when putting your key digital assets into these little fluffy white clouds, your firm’s best hope is perhaps survival with a deep flesh wound.

Instead, take positive control by using proven strategic practices within ITSM – though the trick is to apply them beyond the technology too. Skills in managing service levels, validation, catalogue, configuration and continuity can be given a wider application and talents in handling incidents, improvement, risk, security, and suppliers become relevant in new ways. Executive boards can leverage these to build and grow solid fortifications around their business-critical services, to co-create Operational Resilience for long term business success.

We explore the changing regulatory landscape under EU DORA, PS6/21, DP3/22, and upcoming rules like the FSM Bill and US federal cyber strategy. We will break down the pillars of Operational Resilience, and how they go beyond Digital and out across the business. We will demonstrate how service management and cyber security teams can work together to underpin the board’s strategies, and actively manage cyber risk in a way that protects their services, their customers and their reputations.
