Cyber survivability is a subfield to cybersecurity that focuses on preventing the outcomes of cyber attacks affecting a mission. These outcomes generally fall into three categories: (1) information theft, (2) denial of service, and (3) misinformation attacks. Cybersecurity focuses on preventing the attacks themselves and has been a less-than-perfect solution due the number of attacks occurring every day. According to Tech Republic (a leading cyber security news portal), 2017 was the “worst year ever” in data breaches and cyber attacks, thanks to ransomware. We saw an 100% increase in cyber attacks targeting businesses from 2016 to 2017. With this in mind, SURVICE, a company with a rich heritage of providing survivability-based solutions to its customers, is leading the way in designing solutions to cybersecurity issues.
