Abstract

Each year, the number of data breaches continues to increase in unprecedented numbers. In 2017 alone, there were 1,093 cyber-attacks in the United States representing a 37 percent increase from 2016. One of the largest in 2017 involved a breach via a weak point in a company’s website software where personal information for 143 million people was stolen including social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, dates of birth and credit card numbers. Due to the continued threat of cyber-attacks, the need to engineer systems for resilience is vital to system security and has become a critical requirement for developing new systems. This research describes resilience as involving cognitive, behavioral, and contextual features that are utilized together to guard against environmental adversity within each constituent system of the cyber ecosystem. These features of resilience are used to highlight design considerations across the constituent systems of the cyber ecosystem landscape using complex system methods.
