With rising threats, from ransomware to insider attacks, building a <\/span><b>cyber-resilient organization<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> has become a board-level priority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yet, one critical truth stands out: <\/span><b>cyber resilience starts at the top<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The CEO, CFO, CIO, and every member of the C-suite play a direct role in shaping their organization\u2019s defense strategy, response plan, and recovery framework.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), the stakes are even higher.
