This chapter reviews significant cybersecurity incidents, analyses their consequences, and relates them to digital resilience. It examines a few well-publicized cybersecurity attacks and breaches while analysing the key points and consequences of each occurrence. This is discussed in a chronological manner, offering valuable insights into the developing strategies employed by cyber adversaries and providing an in-depth understanding of how digital resilience could be applied to reduce the extensive impact of cyberattacks. This chapter also examines the necessity of strengthening digital resilience in order to survive in a progressively complex and sophisticated digital environment. It concludes with the implications of digital resilience as a whole and how it could be used in the future to tackle complex problems such as those mentioned.
