CRLE 2000: Cyber Resilience for the Business Continuity Professional.
An intense, information packed programme on addressing cyber disruption within a business continuity framework, because business continuity and cyber security must work together in every organisation.
Two disciplines, one integrated response
CRLE 2000, Cyber Resilience for the Business Continuity Professional, is DRI International's accredited course on integrating cyber security and business continuity, structured around the five elements of cyber resilience: prepare and identify, protect, detect, respond and recover.
Organisations today face countless cyberthreats and no one is immune. From DDoS attacks to ransomware, hackers have endless opportunities to cause massive disruption, all of which require a response that will involve the continuity professional. This course is more than a statement of the problem: it shows how business continuity and cyber security must integrate, and how the five elements combine into action plans that respond to unforeseen events and get the organisation back up and running quickly.
You will be able to streamline well coordinated identification and response to attacks or data breaches, minimise costs, protect the organisation's reputation, and bring the most current information and skills to the table.
Built for the continuity professional facing cyber risk

“I really enjoyed the DRII CRLE 2000 course. Even with a strong background in both business continuity and cybersecurity, I walked away with a much better appreciation of how these disciplines need to work together and create a holistic view on how to achieve cyber resilience. The course brought together practical perspectives from both worlds and highlighted the importance of collaboration, communication, and leadership during cyber disruptions. I'd definitely recommend it. It's an engaging course with valuable insights that you can apply immediately.”
