Everbridge, Inc., the global leader in High Velocity Critical Event Management (CEM) and national public warning solutions, today announced its inclusion in Forrester’s The Business Continuity Management Software Landscape, Q1 2026. The report reflects renewed urgency around business continuity as organizations face more frequent disruptions, rising operational risk, and expanding regulatory expectations tied to resilience and preparedness – areas Everbridge supports through its BC in the Cloud (BCIC) capabilities.

According to the Forrester report, business continuity management software “introduces automation and consistency into business continuity and resilience programs. This reduces reliance on more error-prone approaches such as spreadsheets….” Forrester adds that organizations implement BCM software to “reduce the impact of catastrophic disruptions on critical customer services,” “proactively improve resilience,” and “dynamically respond to the specifics of any disruption.”

Taken together, Everbridge believes the findings highlight how business continuity has evolved from static planning to a more operational, action-focused discipline. This shift aligns with BC in the Cloud (BCIC), which is designed to support continuity planning, testing, and execution as part of a broader resilience program.

“Business continuity has become a core operational priority, not a back-office exercise,” said Dave Wagner, President and CEO of Everbridge. “We believe Forrester’s dedicated Landscape reflects how much the market has changed over the past few years. Organizations now expect continuity programs to be actionable, measurable, and closely tied to how they protect customers and critical services when disruption occurs.”

In 2020, this category centered largely on foundational capabilities such as business impact analysis, plan documentation, and testing. Since then, the risk environment has changed significantly. Organizations now face sustained disruption driven by climate events, cyber threats, global supply chain volatility, and new operational resilience mandates, accelerating the need for more integrated, automated, and execution-ready business continuity programs.

To address these evolving requirements, the BCIC suite helps organizations move from plan creation to real-world execution by supporting business impact analysis, dependency mapping, plan development and testing, and by connecting continuity planning directly with real-time incident response and crisis coordination as part of Everbridge High Velocity CEM.

Increasingly, organizations are looking to connect business continuity planning with live situational awareness and coordinated response, ensuring plans can be activated, adapted, and improved continuously as events unfold.
