Prime Minister’s Office | National Cyber Directorate First Layer | Aggregate Cyber Robustness Cyber robustness is the ability of organizations and processes to continue operating despite a routine of cyber threats by repelling and preventing most of the attacks. This is the very basic level of cyber security. The State of Israel has set a goal to raise the overall level of cyber robustness as a means of preventing high-level damage and reducing the cumulative risk. Government Resolution 2443 of February 15, 2015 introduced nation-wide efforts to enhance the national robustness through the promotion of security efforts undertaken by organizations (best practice, guidance, regulations, incentives, etc.) and by regulating the cyber security market.
