Cyber Resilience: Rethinking Cybersecurity Strategy to Build a Cyber Resilient Architecture

Cyberattacks are going to happen no matter how much money is thrown at the problem. At the same time, none of the industries in the current national infrastructure have developed an effective standard strategy to protect themselves. The paradigm we adopted long before the internet needs to be seriously rethought. Instead of throwing our resources into defending the system at all points of attack, perhaps we should devise ways to ensure that the system assets that we cannot afford to lose are unconditionally protected. In this paper, we argue that this selective versus universal approach to security, called a cyberresilient strategy, is based on cybersecurity and one in which organizations should adopt.
