QUICK DEFINITION
Resilience Testing — Structured exercises used to evaluate whether critical services can withstand and recover from severe disruption.
WHY IT MATTERS
Why Resilience Testing matters in finance
Testing turns resilience assumptions into observable evidence and exposes hidden dependencies.
FINANCIAL SYSTEM CONTEXT
← Back to the Financial Security GlossarySecurity is also a market-infrastructure question
In financial services, resilience testing should be understood in relation to operational continuity, data integrity, payments, market infrastructure and interconnected dependencies. A control can be technically effective while still leaving material resilience risk if critical services cannot continue or recover during disruption.
