Cyber resilience is a topic of extreme relevance to organizations in the most diverse segments of activity, where the concept of resilience presents nuance in its different dimensions, in addition to the need to recognize and distinguish the different stages that characterize the state of cyber resilience. Thus, the aim of this article is to understand the various concepts of cyber resilience in its different contexts and dimensions. To this end, bibliographic research was carried out through the process of indirect documentation in articles, books, and publications on the subject. The main stages of resilience were mapped, and an analysis was produced of how these stages have evolved over the years. Finally, an updated proposal for standing for the stages of cyber resilience was presented, based on the consolidation of proposals from the entire framework studied in this work. This review emphasizes the importance of cyber resilience and understanding the stages that characterize cyber resilience, highlighting the need for its further integration into the organizations in the most diverse segments of activity management.

“…Trim and Lee [1] asserted that more interdisciplinary cybersecurity research is needed. Martineau, Spiridon, and Aiken [5] revealed from their meta-analysis of 8020 papers, that cybercriminal research is lacking, most of the methods applied were too basic or not explained well enough, and practitioners have not been collaborating with scholars.…”

“…Cybercrime risk is a crucial global business topic because cyberattacks have resulted in significant financial losses [1][2][3][4]. Scholars have called for more scientific studies of cybercrime risk, particularly by applying modern research designs and methods such as advanced cognitive computing using machine learning (ML) [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

A critical worldwide problem is that ransomware cyberattacks can be costly to organizations. Moreover, accidental employee cybercrime risk can be challenging to prevent, even by leveraging advanced computer science techniques. This exploratory project used a novel cognitive computing design with detailed explanations of the action-research case-study methodology and customized machine learning (ML) techniques, supplemented by a workflow diagram. The ML techniques included language preprocessing, normalization, tokenization, keyword association analytics, learning tree analysis, credibility/reliability/validity checks, heatmaps, and scatter plots. The author analyzed over 8 GB of employee behavior big data from a multinational Fintech company global intranet. The five-factor personality theory (FFPT) from the psychology discipline was integrated into semi-supervised ML to classify retrospective employee behavior and then identify cybercrime risk. Higher levels of employee neuroticism were associated with a greater organizational cybercrime risk, corroborating the findings in empirical publications. In stark contrast to the literature, an openness to new experiences was inversely related to cybercrime risk. The other FFPT factors, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and extroversion, had no informative association with cybercrime risk. This study introduced an interdisciplinary paradigm shift for big data cognitive computing by illustrating how to integrate a proven scientific construct into ML—personality theory from the psychology discipline—to analyze human behavior using a retrospective big data collection approach that was asserted to be more efficient, reliable, and valid as compared to traditional methods like surveys or interviews.

Examined is the shift from business impact analysis to the business resilience required to safeguard organizations from cyber-attacks and endure such attacks for Sigma Point with the application of a qualitative intrinsic exploratory case study. Skilled business resilience experts support accepted practices that enhance efficiencies and quality of business continuity strategy and planning programs, plus guard against cyber terrorism. Explored is evidence of the ubiquitous reliance on technology in business strategies. Shown is how business resilience procedures provide an array of advantages. Readers will learn about resilience as the final critical planning, preparative and related action recommended to substantiate that organizations' significant business functions should either persist to function despite serious cataclysms or events of cyber terrorism that otherwise might interrupt services or production, or will be recovered to an operational state within a reasonably short period.
