										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>To say the least, cyber-resilience is a fashionable concept. The number of client requests on the topic has exploded this year: framing studies, program structuring, strategy definition, etc. Major accounts are currently multiplying initiatives. Paradoxically, <strong>the definition and scope of application of cyber-resilience is still unclear for most companies</strong> (for example, is cyber security included in cyber-resilience?). This article aims to shed light on the debate by providing some tips that have proven successful in the field.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Identification and mapping of key processes</h2>
<p>Let&#8217;s start with a definition from the regulator: <strong>the European Central Bank defines cyber-resilience as the ability to protect oneself and to quickly resume activities in the event of a successful cyber-attack.</strong> This definition has led many companies to adopt a 360° vision on the topic (prevention, crisis management, reconstruction, business continuity, etc.) through the prism of a concrete cyber-attack on key business processes. The novelty lies above all in the fact that all the analysis is focused on critical business chains, even though it is still necessary to know them. <strong>Identifying and mapping key processes is often the most complex part of a Cyber Resilience Program</strong>. Unfortunately, there is no systematic method: a list drawn up by the Risk Department, a decision by the Director of Operations, recycling of business impact analyses (BIA), criteria established during regulatory audits, etc. One thing is certain, this list cannot be drawn up by the cybersecurity team in its own corner and requires the involvement of the business lines as early as possible in the process.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Analyzing the cyber-resilience of a business chain: the A.R.M. method</h2>
<p>The cyber-resilience of a business chain can be improved by acting on several parameters: 1/ avoidance of the attack, 2/ rapid reconstruction, 3/ maintenance of business activity during the attack. As a result, <strong>many companies have structured their Cyber Resilience Program around 3 indicators: A (AVOID), R (RECOVER) and M (MAINTAIN),</strong> making it possible to target one threat at a time. Of course, most current initiatives are working on Ransomware scenarios (Ryuk, Maze, Sodinokibi, etc.).</p>
<h3>A – AVOID</h3>
<p>The first step is to assess the level of resistance of business chains to the feared cyber threats. The ATT&amp;CK Framework is increasingly used here and this indicator can simply correspond to the <strong>percentage of techniques used by the attacker against which the business chain is protected</strong> (for example, the chain is protected against 60% of the attack techniques used by the ransomware groups of the moment). The level of assurance required differs from one company to another: even if most companies still work via self-declaration, it is possible to integrate a review of evidence or Redteam audits into the approach to make the results more reliable.</p>
<h3>R – RECOVER</h3>
<p>The second step requires <strong>assessing the reconstruction time of the business chain in the event of an attack</strong> (for example, the chain can be reassembled in 9 hours after a ransomware attack). This time can obviously be different from one attack to another: destruction often restricted to Microsoft systems, possibility to use backups or not, integrity checks necessary after reconstruction, etc. This requires a detailed analysis of the impacts of each attack studied. <strong>Be careful, when mapping, it is necessary to consider the reconstruction of ALL the assets impacted by the attack</strong>. It is often observed that a few specific assets can double or triple the overall reconstruction time. Here again, the level of insurance required differs from one company to another: it is possible to work on paper, but the real reconstruction test is clearly the best option for reassurance.</p>
<h3>R – MAINTAIN</h3>
<p>The last step requires assessing the ability of the business lines to work in a degraded mode before returning to normal. This is a purely business indicator, which obviously differs from one sector and chain to another: it can be a question of transactions, reception of parcels or number of passengers depending on the sector and the chosen chain. To calculate it, it is necessary to work with the business on <strong>the assumption of long-term unavailability of the critical chain and to evaluate the percentage of the activity that can be delivered in another way.</strong> To understand the approach in a theoretical, and deliberately provocative way: does a business process vulnerable to a cyberattack, but whose activity can be maintained without an IS for a few days, really need to increase investments in cybersecurity? This is the type of topic that a Cyber Resilience Program must be able to arbitrate.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Most Cyber Resilience Strategies and Programs on the market obviously embrace this recurring assessment phase, adding over the years cyber threats and business chains to be analyzed. At the same time, <strong>they are managing a series of cybersecurity, IT and business projects to increase the level of resilience</strong>. The most mature Programs also maintain catalogs of solutions to speed up the process and improve the scoring of the various business lines (data safes, standardized backups, market partnerships, shared business fallback solutions, etc.).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="post-13220 media-13220" class="align-none"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-13220 aligncenter" src="https://www.riskinsight-wavestone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Image-2.png" alt="" width="1018" height="532" srcset="https://www.riskinsight-wavestone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Image-2.png 1018w, https://www.riskinsight-wavestone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Image-2-365x191.png 365w, https://www.riskinsight-wavestone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Image-2-71x37.png 71w, https://www.riskinsight-wavestone.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Image-2-768x401.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1018px) 100vw, 1018px" /></figure>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As we have seen, <strong>a cyber-resilience strategy involves multiple skills:</strong> the cybersecurity department to select threats and assess the robustness of chains, the business lines to select critical chains and work on business continuity, IT and the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for crisis management and assessment of reconstruction capacities. <strong>The best solution is to host this type of Program directly at the Operations Department level</strong>, in order to influence all these channels. However, these Programs are currently structured at the level of the CISO or the Risk Management Department. The key in this case is to deploy effective governance that allows all stakeholders to remain within their area of expertise.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Les programmes de transformation sont des évènements sensibles à l’échelle de l’entreprise. Dans un contexte économique tendu, leur maîtrise devient un enjeu majeur. Selon la maturité des entreprises et de l’importance des projets, une cellule de Program Management Office (PMO) est mise en place pour en assurer la gestion. La cellule PMO est confrontée à de nombreux défis et doit remplir des fonctions qui semblent inconciliables (contrôle versus support).</em></p>
<h2>Un appui pour le management…</h2>
<p>L’activité principale d’une cellule PMO est de consolider des données afin de réaliser le reporting du programme. Le suivi des 6 axes de pilotage (qualité, délai, coûts, risques, ressources et changements) apporte au management les éléments nécessaires d’aide à la décision. Mais limiter le rôle de la cellule à cette seule activité de coordination crée une distance avec les équipes opérationnelles. Cette distance limite la remontée d’informations fiables de la part des équipes et rend impossible toute conduite du changement efficace.</p>
<h2>…mais également pour les acteurs opérationnels</h2>
<p>La constitution d’une cellule composée d’équipes de pilotage et d’équipes de réalisation assure un pilotage efficace, sans perturbation de l’activité récurrente. De plus, l’autonomie de cette cellule permet de réaliser rapidement les arbitrages nécessaires et d’accélérer la prise de décision. Cette autonomie et cette indépendance dans la prise de décision augmentent le risque d’effet tunnel. Il devient alors indispensable de réaliser une conduite du changement forte auprès des équipes en fin de programme.</p>
<h2>Le dialogue en réponse à la résistance au changement</h2>
<p align="left">La cellule PMO est souvent confrontée à la réticence des chefs de projet qui la perçoive comme un acteur interférant dans leur relation avec le management. L’ajout de ressources techniques à la cellule minimise ces résistances. Cette structure permet d’apporter le support nécessaire en termes de communication et de gestion du changement. Les équipes opérationnelles restent autonomes sur leur périmètre et disposent d’un relai opérationnel garantissant la cohérence technique. Ce relai restant toutefois éloigné des équipes, il ne peut pas garantir la fiabilité de l’avancement qui lui est remonté.</p>
<h2>Imposer la légitimité de la fonction et assurer la perception de sa valeur ajoutée</h2>
<p>Il est courant pour une cellule PMO d’être perçue comme une couche additionnelle « superflue » de la gestion de projet. Si la légitimité du PMO dépend en partie de son positionnement hiérarchique et de sa proximité avec le management, il est nécessaire d’asseoir son existence auprès des opérationnels. L’implication de relais dédiés dans les équipes opérationnelles permet de créer un lien fort avec la direction de programme. Il convient dès lors d’en faire un vecteur privilégié de communication pour l’ensemble des acteurs. Partager avec l’ensemble des contributeurs les synthèses réalisées permet de leur fournir la visibilité sur l’importance des informations qu’ils transmettent. Ces contacts réguliers permettront d’inclure les contributeurs lors de la construction des outils de pilotage, de prendre en compte leurs remarques et ainsi de s’inscrire dans une dynamique d’amélioration continue. En effet, au travers de ces contacts réguliers, la cellule PMO récupérera des clés de compréhension parfois absentes des reportings et autres échanges de mails. Cette proximité avec l’ensemble des acteurs permet à la cellule PMO d’être perçue comme un acteur du programme à part entière.</p>
<p>Pour assurer la pérennité de la fonction de PMO, il faut aller au-delà des fonctions « classiques » de coordination. Des alternatives existent telles que les « métarègles » décrites par F. Jolivet*. L’implication d’acteurs dédiés aux côtés des équipes opérationnelles permet d’imposer cette cellule comme un acteur nécessaire et reconnu de tous.</p>
