Prewave Resilience Perspective

Risk Categories and Event Types

The Prewave Resilience perspective focuses on identifying and managing events that can significantly interrupt an organization's operations, financial stability, and supply chain continuity. This perspective is vital for proactively addressing potential threats and ensuring business resilience in the face of various disruptive challenges. The impact level assigned to each event type depends on the relationship between the event and the monitored entity.

This perspective replaces the Disruption Perspective, which was deprecated in May 2026.
