Antifragile Cyber Resilience Framework for Multicloud Enterprises

This white paper presents an antifragile model of cyber resilience specifically designed for hybrid multicloud enterprises. It outlines how organizations can modernize their resilience strategies to move beyond traditional recovery-centric thinking towards a framework that anticipates disruptions and enhances system adaptability. The document details the need for organizations to rethink their resilience architecture, as traditional methods often fail due to external dependencies and rapid system sprawl. It describes a five-tier enterprise architecture that serves as a foundation for improving resilience, emphasizing the importance of defining clear trust boundaries, diversifying dependencies, and implementing responsive policies. The paper also discusses how antifragile resilience practices can result in observable characteristics such as reduced blast radius during outages, enhanced availability, and automated responses during abnormal conditions. Furthermore, it addresses the complexity of ownership in resilience strategies, highlighting the necessity for a coordinated approach among various operational functions and compliance with regulatory frameworks like DORA and ISO/IEC 27001.
