Cyber Resiliency is the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to adverse conditions, stresses, attacks, or compromises on systems that use or are enabled by cyber resources. Cyber resiliency is intended to enable mission or business objectives that depend on cyber resources to be achieved in a contested cyber environment.
—NIST, Computer Security Resource Center Glossary, “cyber resiliency”

It is also not a number that you arrive at by answering a set of questions about your network. It is quite a bit more complicated than that, but can be calculated in a reasonable manner from observations of the state of your enterprise and a series of probabilistic mathematical calculations.

Why Is Cybersecurity Not a Human-Scale Problem Anymore?
In this Viewpoint, we show why cybersecurity is a very difficult problem. The enterprise attack surface is massive and growing rapidly. There are practically unlimited permutations and combinations of methods by which an adversary can attack and compromise our networks. There is a big gap between our current tools and methods, and what is needed to get ahead of cyber-adversaries.
