Abstract: Abstract Cybersecurity threats are regarded as one of the most significant global risks worldwide. The greater integration of technologies into organizational and societal functioning is associated with expanding cyber-attack surfaces and growing cybersecurity threats. Given the increasing frequency and complexity of adverse cyber events, organizations relying on digital technologies need to move from a posture of cybersecurity to one of cyber resilience to maintain their effective functioning. Cyber resilience management frameworks serve as the standard for organizations to build or improve their cyber resilience posture. Even though most cyber-attacks exploit the socio-technical gaps of a system, cyber resilience management frameworks proposed by security solutions providers, standard organizations, and academics have primarily employed a techno-centric approach to cyber resilience. This article explores the socio-technical shortcomings in cyber resilience management frameworks proposed in academic literature. To do so, it conceptualizes organizational cyber resilience from the perspectives of the socio-technical system. The systematic analysis contributes to identifying the extent of inclusion of socio-technical systems thinking in cyber resilience management frameworks and proposes potential future research directions.
