Resilience hinges on conversations as much as tooling

Too many businesses still treat resilience as a software procurement and IT operations issue. In reality resilience lives in the mutual relationship between tech, business leadership, and culture. It goes deep - resilience is baked into the organization in a multitude of ways. Some tech enabled, some policy-driven, and some by culture or employee goodwill.
