What is Resilia?
RESILIA is a framework of best practice, developed by AXELOS, to build cyber resilience skills across an organization. Based on the Cyber Resilience Best Practices guide, it offers practical knowledge to enhance existing management strategies and help align cyber resilience with IT operations, security and incident management. Using the ITIL lifecycle it develops the skills and insight needed to detect, respond to and recover from cyber-attacks.
When a cyber-attack strikes it threatens the fundamentals of a good business – reputation, customer confidence and operational continuity. Knowing how to respond and recover effectively requires clarity and confidence through the cyber resilience of all of your people. That is because businesses don’t detect and protect from a cyber-attack – people do. Equipping people to react to cyber threats is critical for keeping the value of your business, within your business. RESILIA ensures this by keeping your reputation intact, customers close and operations up and running.
Why you need Cyber Resilience
- 73% of large organizations suffered a cyber attack in the past year, up from 59% a year ago (BIS, 2014 Information Security Breaches Survey).
- 205 days: the average number of days between an initial compromise and when the victim discovers the attack (Mandiant).
- Human error is involved in more than 95% of security incidents (IBM ‘2014 Cyber Security Intelligence Index’ report).
- In July 2015 the UK ranked number two in the world for the number of events related to cyber crime.
- 50% of users open emails and click on phishing links within the first hour (Verizon ‘2015 Data breach investigations’ report).

The Practitioner level is aimed at all professionals within IT Service Management, Information Security, Business Analysis, IT Project Management, Risk Manager, IT Development, IT and Security Architecture, Risk Management professionals and leadership roles such as CTO, CISO, CRO, Head of Risk, Heads of Compliance and Business Continuity and Heads of IT.
Foundation and Practitioner
This course is a combination of two courses, the Foundation and the Practitioner. During the first 3 days you will study at the Foundation level and then take an exam on the 3rd day. The next 2 days focuses on the more advanced Practitioner level. If for any reason you do not pass your Foundation exam on the 3rd day then you can still continue on the Practitioner course and take the Practitioner exam. But you would need to retake the Foundation exam online at a later date and once you had passed that your Practitioner certification would then be released.
