Recorded Webinar: Developing operational resilience

25 March 2021

Financial institutions’ operational resilience – essentially the ability to prevent, adapt and respond to, and recover and learn from operational disruptions – has come under extreme pressure during the coronavirus pandemic, with last year’s March lockdown creating unprecedented circumstances for financial firms.

Employees working from home raised the stakes, as they still do, adding to and often exacerbating more traditional resilience issues such as business continuity, data breaches, data privacy, third-party and supplier risk, outsourcing, cloud service provision and, potentially, cyberattacks.

This webinar will review the pressure on operational resilience, highlight weak links, and offer guidance on how to develop solutions that will not only keep your business safe, but also sustain its agility and flexibility. While coronavirus has caused havoc, it has also turned the spotlight on a discipline that is increasingly regulated, yet sometimes lacking attention.

Listen to the webinar to find out about:

  • How to build operational resilience in extreme circumstances
  • Potential weak links that must be addressed from the get-go
  • How to balance resilience and cost at your organisation
  • How to sustain agility while ensuring operational resilience
  • Technologies, tools and services that can help you
  • How to identify and respond to a crisis
