It defines resilience as the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover, and adapt—going beyond traditional cybersecurity to sustain operational continuity and mission assurance. The primer explains why resilience matters, including escalating threat sophistication, regulatory expectations, and impacts on critical infrastructure and safety. It also presents interdependencies, outlines industry frameworks such as NIST 800-160, and highlights consequence-driven risk reduction, secure-by-design practices, and resilient engineering
