Integrating Business Continuity Management, Cybersecurity, and Organisational Resilience Against Cyber Disruptions

Abstract: This study examines the integration of business continuity management (BCM), cybersecurity and organizational resilience, with an emphasis on human factors. The study brings together key findings that support the development of organizational resilience. The study compiles the findings of 13 peer-reviewed publications resulting from the efforts of tasks 8.2 of the ECHO and 3.2 of the DYNAMO projects. The study highlights gaps in current commercial tools for business continuity management, cyber threat intelligence (CTI) and risk management (RM). The DYNAMO platform is an AI-driven solution that enables cybersecurity resilience through simulation-based training and decision support systems. The articles cover topics such as combining business continuity management principles to build dynamic resilience, the role of communication in organizational resilience and the role of human factors in cybersecurity. The study examines the implementation of guidelines to improve cybersecurity, the use of open-source intelligence (OSINT) in the financial sector, and the impact of the EU AI law on cybersecurity training. The analysis highlights the importance of integrating continuity planning and risk management into organizational culture, supported by effective communication, continuous learning, and the adoption of recognized standards. The results provide practical advice for organizations seeking to improve their preparedness for hybrid threats and disruptions, and suggest further research directions for resilience assessment, AI integration, and cross-sector standardization.
