Abstract
Digital transformation is currently an essential condition for companies to operate in most markets, since it provides a whole new set of competitive skills and strategic tools. On the other hand, the same digitalization puts companies in the face of a whole new series of threats coming from the cyber space. The foundation of business sustainability, which is the maintenance of competitiveness while securing business, is no longer a “plus” feature or a captivating sentence but a true and consistent need for all organizations. This article provides a literature analysis on approaches and models for cyber resilience, digitalization capabilities, and a conceptual framework showing how digitalization capabilities drive cyber resilience. Digitalization capabilities are involved in the plan/prepare phase and in the adaptation phase of the cyber resilience process. In particular, online informational capabilities can drive both these phases. Other capabilities such as the employment of heterogeneous resources and the promotion of continuous learning drive the plan/prepare phase, while the scanning of the evolution of the digital environment and a timely reconfiguration of resources drive the adaptation phase.
Highlights
The concept of survival and business sustainability has assumed an increasingly relevant role in recent years for organizations
Considering the identified digitalization capabilities [7,30,34,38] and the cyber resilience phases by [11] lately organized in managerial practices in the managerial cyber resilience framework proposed by [8], we found an interesting common ground between digitalization capabilities and cyber resilience practices
Employing heterogeneous resources is a driver of prevention and training practices that belongs to the plan/prepare phase of the managerial cyber resilience process
Summary
The concept of survival and business sustainability has assumed an increasingly relevant role in recent years for organizations. Firms are required to face competition in the market while ensuring the sustainability of their operations from economic, environmental, and social points of view. Ensuring the sustainability of the environment and society can no longer be an option alongside business strategy and competitiveness (i.e., the sustainability of business). The growing level of digitalization is dramatically impacting the strategy and operations of today’s organizations. It is evident how, in many sectors, digital interaction with customers is allowing organizations to provide a richer user experience [3]
