Semperis has launched an enterprise resilience platform. Ready1 is designed to bring together stakeholders, coordinators and technical teams in one secure platform, to support cohesive crisis response through preparation, collaboration and enterprise-wide communications.

According to the provider’s recent research The State of Enterprise Cyber Crisis Readiness, 96% of companies say they have a cyber crisis response plan, yet 71% experienced at least one high-impact cyber event that halted critical business functions in the past year.

Based on a survey of 1,000 organisations across the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, the report suggests that 36% suffered multiple high-impact events.

In the UK specifically, the report highlights that nearly half (49%) of businesses had to activate their crisis response teams up to four times in the past year due to cyber incidents. A further 37% activated their crisis response team five or more times.

“Cyber attacks don’t check your calendar – they hit when you’re at your weakest,” said Marty Momdjian, Semperis, EVP, Ready1. “In moments of crisis, it’s not about rising to the occasion, but falling back on the strength of your preparation.”
