Abstract

The rapid changes in technology on a global scale, combined with the widespread adoption of business operations in cyberspace, have intensified the need for robust protection against escalating risks posed by cyber threats. This research paper aims to identify fundamental cyber resilience management attributes that enable organizations to manage cybersecurity, sustain, and adapt amidst evolving cyber risks and threats. By integrating resilience theory and security theory, this study establishes the attributes for resilience within cyber domains, making a novel contribution to cyber resilience management in organizations. The study introduces a model featuring seven main variables: Rationale, Reliable, Readiness, Resistance, Robust, Rebound, Reflective, and sub-variables across the Physical, Logical, and Social cyber domains, providing a converged framework for achieving cyber resilience. The findings of the study highlight the significance of fundamental attributes for enhancing cyber resilience management in organizations, such as clarity in purpose, vision, and values for security management, an empowered culture, availability of resources, avoidance of single points of failure, development, and coordination of resources to respond to threats and risks, promotion of continual improvement, and the sharing of information and knowledge. In conclusion, this research paper presents a model for managing cybersecurity in organizations by identifying key attributes for achieving cyber resilience.
