| Summary: | In the digital age, the concept of cyber resilience has become a cornerstone for industries aiming to safeguard their operational integrity, data security, and service continuity against the backdrop of an ever-evolving cyber threat landscape. Businesses need cyber-resilient solutions that can anticipate, withstand, recover, or adapt to cyber-crisis situations affecting their operations. This paper provides a comprehensive view of cyber resilience concepts and techniques, offering a foundational understanding for both researchers and security experts. Additionally, it addresses prevalent discrepancies and conceptual ambiguities in resilience literature, specifically focusing with respect to cyber security i.e., cyber resilience. As the concept of cyber resilience is currently shrouded in ambiguity due to the absence of in-depth thorough consensus on its definition, this paper establishes a consolidated scientific definition of cyber resilience, refining theoretical constructs and operational paradigms in the field. By exploring key actors in cyberspace, delineating the characteristics, goals, and objectives, of cyber resilience, and distinguishing it from similar concepts, this paper enhances the foundational understanding of cyber resilience. Furthermore, it delivers critical insights, identifies limitations and challenges, and outlines future research directions in the domain of cyber resilience. This can guide organizations to comprehensively assess, measure, and build their cyber resilience to anticipate, withstand, recover, or adapt to cyber crises that threaten the survival of their organization across a broad range of business processes. |
