Set of ACR development guidelines: towards an Autonomous Cyber Resilience Engineering Framework
report
Cybersecurity has undeniably strengthened over the years. Organisations have invested heavily in technologies, frameworks, and protocols to protect their digital assets. However, this progress has not gone unnoticed by adversaries. Attackers have evolved in parallel, developing increasingly sophisticated techniques that challenge even the most advanced defences.
This dynamic has created a continuous cyber rat race. On the defence side, maintaining security consumes ever-growing amounts of manpower, financial resources, and technical infrastructure. Despite the abundance of security tools, platforms, and educational materials, a persistent lack of awareness among users and stakeholders remains a critical vulnerability [3]. Human error, negligence, and insufficient understanding of basic security hygiene continue to undermine even the most robust systems.
Compounding this issue is the increasing complexity of digital infrastructures. Organisations now operate in hybrid environments with cloud-native systems, legacy components, and third-party integrations. On top of this complexity, they must navigate a dense landscape of cybersecurity legislation, surplus of countermeasures, and cope with a global shortage of skilled professionals.
