The article presents a comprehensive framework for strengthening the resilience of university information and communication systems amid digital transformation and growing external and internal threats. A multi-layered model is proposed that integrates technological, organizational, cybersecurity, socio-communicational, and human resource dimensions to ensure the continuity of educational, research, and administrative processes. Methodologically, the study combines analysis and synthesis, systematization, comparative inquiry, historical-logical analysis, structural-functional modeling, and expert evaluation. The evolution of the concept of resilience is traced from ecological and economic paradigms to its application in digital educational environments, allowing for the identification of key assessment criteria. The model emphasizes interconnections between infrastructure, risk management procedures, digital literacy development, and crisis communication mechanisms. Findings suggest that technical or human resource measures alone are insufficient, and that integrating policies, resource allocation, and monitoring systems is required. The model’s practical relevance lies in its potential as a methodological foundation for designing strategies to improve the reliability of information and communication systems and to guide investment priorities. However, its conceptual nature, limited large-scale empirical data, and variability in institutional resources pose limitations, underscoring the need for further quantitative research and pilot testing. Future directions include developing indicators for resilience monitoring, conducting experimental implementation across diverse university settings, and evaluating cost-effectiveness. Additional focus should be placed on quantitative risk assessment methods, optimal resource allocation models, and the influence of regulatory and social factors on resilience strategies. Moreover, the interaction between university systems, state-level platforms, and private services is highlighted to strengthen redundancy and leverage technological synergies. Empirical validation requires statistical methods, experimental design, and big data analytics to assess user behavior and network performance under stress. Overall, the proposed concept provides a foundation for policy development that integrates technical measures with staff training, financial planning, and rapid incident response mechanisms.
