Resilience Day
Resilience in Focus at #SCCON26
Cyberattacks, economic espionage, sabotage, and geopolitical tensions are creating growing challenges for businesses and public infrastructure. At the Resilience Day at Smart Country Convention 2026, the focus was on protecting critical infrastructure and strengthening the resilience of businesses, government, and society.
Businesses today face an increasingly complex threat landscape. Cyberattacks can disrupt production and business operations, economic espionage puts know-how and competitiveness at risk, and sabotage can impact critical infrastructure and supply chains. At the same time, geopolitical tensions and technological dependencies are increasing vulnerabilities across the economy and society.
Resilience has therefore become a strategic leadership priority. Businesses need to protect critical functions, understand their dependencies, and remain operational during a crisis. The Resilience Day brought together perspectives from business, security agencies, and practitioners and explored how organizations can strengthen their long-term resilience and response capabilities.
