摘要

Higher education institutions operating in hybrid warfare environments or located in high-risk regions play a critical role in safeguarding educational, scientific, and governmental stability. Based on the wartime experience of Ukrainian universities, this research proposes a university resilience architecture designed to maintain educational and administrative operations despite infrastructure damage, electricity blackouts, and cyber threats. In this study, an extensive analysis of international standards relevant to enhancing the resilience of universities was conducted, leading to the development of a comprehensive resilience architecture. The proposed model includes geo-replicated data centers, cloud-based backup infrastructures, redundant and satellite communication channels, autonomous energy systems, cyber-resilience measures, and caching server centers to support online education platforms. Future steps of this research may include integration with Digital Twin technologies, cooperation with international and governmental cyber-resilience organizations, and strengthening measures aligned with global security and resilience standards.
