Cyber resilience is no longer just a technical issue—it is a board‑level concern.

This article is part of a broader KPMG thought leadership series on threat‑informed decision making, which brings together perspectives from business leaders, policymakers and cybersecurity experts across Europe. Through a real‑world case from Van Dorp, the article shows how a seemingly well‑secured environment was breached within minutes and how new regulations such as NIS2 are making cyber resilience an explicit responsibility of leadership and the board.
