Cyber Resiliency is the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to adverse conditions, stresses, attacks, or compromises on cyber resources.[1] In essence, it is the effectiveness of an entity's cybersecurity. Cyber resiliency differs from Cybersecurity in that it emphasizes the need to minimize mission impacts rather than the need to minimize losses of information, information systems, or other assets. Cyber resiliency differs from other concerns of resilience in that it focused on adversarial disruptions.[2]

Metrics

There are two different approaches to measuring cybersecurity effectiveness: Dashboards and benchmarking. Dashboards visualize and make assessable metrics quantified in terms of cost, risk level, and time. Benchmarking refers to the gathering of data from similar organizations for comparison with one's own organization’s cybersecurity measures.[3]
