Resilience is defined as the ability to recover from or easily adapt to shocks and stresses. Resilience, unlike the concept of security (which is often and incorrectly conflated with 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. This books draws expertise from academia, industry, and government to present insightful discussion of the fundamental concepts of cyber resilience, including the most current technical issues, relevant methods and procedures, and recent developments of the field. This book offers greater emphasis on applying the concepts and methods of cyber resilience to practical problems as compared to our previous book. The bulk of the material is presented in a logical, consistent, and continuous way that is easily accessible to non-specialists and will be of use as teaching material as well as source of emerging scholarship in the field.

This 2nd edition focusses on technical approaches to building and operating cyber-resilient systems and networks The subject covers all key topics in a logical, consistent discourse, showcasing cutting-edge Cyber Resilience methods Features contributions from experienced researchers and practitioners, integrating academic and practical perspectives

Dr. Igor Linkov is a Senior Executive at the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Florida and Carnegie Mellon University. His work is focused on developing methods and tools for measuring resilience in interconnected networks and applying these tools to the environment, critical infrastructure, transportation, energy and cyber systems, supply chains, and command and control systems. He serves as a representative of the Army for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy's (OSTP) National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) and the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Programs. He was part of OSTP and other committees developing the USA National Resilience Strategy and other resilience-focused policy documents. He has published widely on environmental and technology policy, emerging risks, and risk and resilience analytics, including twenty-eight books and over 500 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters in top journals, like Nature, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Climate Change, among others. Dr. Linkov is an Elected Fellow with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and Society for Risk Analysis. He has received multiple USACE, Army and DOD Awards and Civilian Service medals, including the highest Civilian Award in the US Army and 2023 Army's Humanitarian Assistance Medal and the 2020 DOD Top Scientist Award. Dr. Linkov has received multiple awards from the Society for Risk Analysis (SRA), the 2022 Edgeworth-Pareto Award from the International Society for Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM), the 2022 IDRiM Distinguished Research Award, and the 2021 Arthur Flemming Award for outstanding public service.

Dr. Alexander Kott served as the Chief Scientist of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL). In this role, he provided leadership in the development of ARL technical strategy, maintaining technical quality of ARL research, and representing ARL to the external technical community. Dr. Kott was also the Army Senior Research Scientist (ST) for Cyber Resilience, in which capacity he formulated the vision of future technologies critical to the Army cyber resilience, and advocated and shaped plans and programs leading to such technologies. Prior to becoming the Chief Scientist of ARL, Dr. Kott was the Chief of the Network Science Division at ARL, leading a division focused on innovative basic and applied research, threat analysis, technology transition and security operations in computer, communications, information, and social networks; formulating and executing a broad range of internal and extramural research programs. Earlier, Dr. Kott served as a Program Manager at Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), where he was responsible for the management of multiple, large-scale R&D projects. Kott's earlier positions included Director of Research and Development at Carnegie Group, Pittsburgh, PA. There, his work focused on novel information technology approaches, such as Artificial Intelligence, to complex problems in engineering design, and planning and control in manufacturing, telecommunications and aviation industries. Dr. Kott earned his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, in 1989, where he researched AI approaches to the invention of complex systems. He received the Secretary of Defense Exceptional Public Service Award, in October 2008. He has published over 120 technical papers and served as the co-author and editor of fourteen books.
