Cyber Resilience Fundamentals

Cyber resilience is a new and emerging discipline that has gained a lot of attention in the recent past. As cyber resilience has many interfaces and relationships with other disciplines, such as information or cyber security, this chapter highlights the differences between these disciplines and how they complement each other. As a good understanding of the different cyber adversaries, their motivations, and capabilities is essential for planning appropriate cyber resilience measures, this chapter provides further information on cyber adversaries and cyber threats. It then presents high-level tactics for defenders to identify and select countermeasures and improve cyber resilience.
