Cyber Resilience Fundamentals

This book provides readers with the necessary capabilities to meet the challenge of building and testing resilient IT services. Upon introducing the fundamentals of cyber resilience with important international standards and best practices, and the risk management process, the book covers in detail the cyber resilience management process. Here, it gives insights into the principles and design criteria to build cyber resilience in organizations, and to integrate it into operations to contribute to incident preparedness. Further, it describes measures for incident handling, including detection, containment, and post-incident handling, and analyses the most critical aspects of cyber resilience testing, such as auditing, exercising, and testing. Written for advanced undergraduate students attending information security and business continuity management courses, this book also addresses researchers and professionals in the broad field of IT Security and cyber resilience.

This book introduces fundamental concepts of cyber resilience, drawing expertise from academia, industry, and government. Resilience is defined as the ability to recover from or easily adjust to shocks and stresses. Unlike the concept of security - which is often and incorrectly conflated with resilience -- resilience refers to the system's ability to recover or regenerate its performance after an unexpected impact produces a degradation in its performance. A clear understanding of distinction between security, risk and resilience is important for developing appropriate management of cyber threats. The book presents insightful discussion of the most current technical issues in cyber resilience, along with relevant methods and procedures. Practical aspects of current cyber resilience practices and techniques are described as they are now, and as they are likely to remain in the near term. The bulk of the material is presented in the book in a way that is easily accessible to non-specialists. Logical, consistent, and continuous discourse covering all key topics relevant to the field will be of use as teaching material as well as source of emerging scholarship in the field. A typical chapter provides introductory, tutorial-like material, detailed examples, in-depth elaboration of a selected technical approach, and a concise summary of key ideas.

“Back to Basics” is a joint project among twenty one industry leaders coming from security, operations, product, and privacy. The primary theme of this book is that adhering to basic security building blocks creates a strong foundation for cyber resilience.The idea is to share our learnings in small accessible and practical chunks. These tips and tricks can be easily picked up by security leaders and practitioners across the spectrum of organizational maturity. The simple models shared by our contributing authors can become the baseline for how others can efficiently get to an adequate security posture.
