Cyber Resilience

How the laws define this

Both frameworks establish that cyber resilience is a capacity to address cyber incidents through active response actions and readiness. However, they diverge fundamentally in target scope and operational objectives. The Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of Romania and Google restricts the scope of cyber resilience to public institutions, focusing on collaborative activities, incident response, supply-chain security, joint exercises, knowledge exchange, and capability building. In contrast, the Malaysia Cyber Security Strategy 2020–2024 (MCSS) applies a much wider scope, defining cyber resilience across organisations, infrastructure, and society as a whole. Additionally, while the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of Romania and Google centers on preventing, detecting, and responding to incidents, the Malaysia Cyber Security Strategy 2020–2024 (MCSS) emphasizes a broader operational cycle of anticipating, withstanding, adapting to, and recovering from disruptions to maintain the continuity of critical functions and ensure a return to normal operations with minimal loss.
