Contribution

It emphasizes the role of cyber resilience in defending against attacks, shifting focus from security measures alone to resilience strategies.

Findings

Russian cyberattacks largely failed to achieve their goals

Ukraine's cyber resilience was a critical factor in defense

Security measures alone were insufficient without resilience

Abstract

Russian cyberattacks on Ukraine largely failed to produce meaningful outcomes not merely due to robust Ukrainian cyber defenses but were instead primarily a result of Ukraine's effective cyber resilience.
