01In brief

The short answer.

The Financial Cyber and Operational Resilience STEM foundation is the set of canonical methods its findings depend on, from cybersecurity and cryptography to software and safety-critical systems engineering. Each method has a canonical STEM Commons page and a page here on its use in the cyber and digital resilience field.

STEM foundation of Financial Cyber and Operational Resilience: operational resilienceImportant business services are identified and impact tolerances set; people, processes, technology and third parties are mapped; severe but plausible scenarios test whether services stay within tolerance; vulnerabilities are remediated and the board self-assesses. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

05Methods

The STEM methods Financial Cyber and Operational Resilience applies, and why.

Each Financial Cyber and Operational Resilience method is described once in the STEM Commons at GCRI and applied here to cyber and operational dependency.

06Why it matters

Grounding makes claims checkable.

When a finding names the methods it depends on, a reader can see its assumptions and limits, and an expert in that method can challenge it.

07Key terms

Terms used on this page.

Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.

TermDefinition
STEM CommonsThe shared reference of science, technology, engineering and mathematics methods for the Nexus network, hosted by GCRI, with one canonical page per method and a named steward platform.
Steward platformThe platform that maintains the canonical description of a method in the STEM Commons and reviews how other platforms apply it.
Cybersecurity and cryptographyCybersecurity and cryptography protect information systems and data from unauthorised access, disruption and manipulation.
Reliability and resilience engineeringReliability and resilience engineering studies how systems fail, how failures can be prevented and how systems absorb, adapt and recover from disruption.
