Digitalization Capabilities for Sustainable Cyber Resilience: A Conceptual Framework

Abstract

Digital transformation is currently an essential condition for companies to operate in most markets, since it provides a whole new set of competitive skills and strategic tools. On the other hand, the same digitalization puts companies in the face of a whole new series of threats coming from the cyber space. The foundation of business sustainability, which is the maintenance of competitiveness while securing business, is no longer a “plus” feature or a captivating sentence but a true and consistent need for all organizations. This article provides a literature analysis on approaches and models for cyber resilience, digitalization capabilities, and a conceptual framework showing how digitalization capabilities drive cyber resilience. Digitalization capabilities are involved in the plan/prepare phase and in the adaptation phase of the cyber resilience process. In particular, online informational capabilities can drive both these phases. Other capabilities such as the employment of heterogeneous resources and the promotion of continuous learning drive the plan/prepare phase, while the scanning of the evolution of the digital environment and a timely reconfiguration of resources drive the adaptation phase.

Challenges and Barriers of Wireless Charging Technologies for Electric Vehicles

“…Whenever the layout design was separated in the power utility grid, the conclusion of the comparison of the achievability of different coil designs (Table 12) was that there was zero tolerance for the misalignment rate or the altitude of the magnetic flux path. This is crucial for any further innovations in the system [331] or cyber-resilience [332][333][334]. Additionally, other data-driven processes for design and optimization must be considered [335,336].…”

Wireless Chargers for Electric Vehicle: A Systematic Review on Converter Topologies, Environmental Assessment, and Review Policy

“…According to the studies described above, wireless charging or wireless connectivity can provide a connectivity of up to 65 percent, but cable connectivity provides just 10 percent of instances where successful contact occurs [87]. It is possible to automate the wireless charging process by digitalization [90] and by using specific wireless communication equipment, which can automatically identify the situation and fulfil the requirements of V2G together with optimization techniques [91,92]. In the not-toodistant future, the advent of wireless charging will make it possible to expand the grid's connection with a car, allowing for the vehicle's excess energy to be used when necessary and vice versa.…”

The impact of cyber resilience and robustness on supply chain performance: Evidence from the UAE chemical industry

“…The potential impact of disruptions on a business and its supply chain emphasizes the significance of building cyber resilience (Annarelli & Palombi, 2021). The definition states that cyber resilience policies should strive to maximize these elements at four levels: timely and economically efficient preparation for a tumultuous situation, response to the event, recovery from the situation, and growth/gaining a competitive edge after the event.…”
