Bridging the digital continuity gap: why blockchain belongs at the core of business resilience

Written by Emily Landis Walker, CEO Landis & Co

What if the next major disruption wasn’t a natural disaster or a cyber-attack, but the collapse of a digital ecosystem? For decades, business continuity plans have focused on physical and operational risks, fires, floods, pandemics or power outages. But as our economies digitise, an entirely new layer of vulnerability has emerged. Organisations today rely not just on data centers and supply chains, but on digital assets, decentralised networks, tokenised securities and algorithmic systems that operate beyond traditional control. While decentralisation introduces complexity, it also

reduces a single point of failure. In a distributed system, the single node or entity holds control of critical data or processes meaning that, even if part of the network goes down, operations and records can continue elsewhere. This redundancy inherent to blockchain architectures is what makes decentralised blockchains a potential enable of continuity, rather than a risk to it.
