Modern Critical Infrastructures (CI) are becoming increasingly complex and distributed, large-scale cyber-physical systems or increasingly interconnected and interdependent to other CIs. Cyber-physical attacks are increasing in number, scope, and sophistication, making it difficult to prepare for them and predict their total impact. Thus, addressing cyber security and physical security separately is no longer effective. Still, more integrated approaches that consider both physical and cyber-security risks, along with their interrelationships, interactions, and cascading effects, are needed to face the challenge of combined cyber-physical or even hybrid attacks.
This workshop will present the different approaches to integrated cyber and physical security in different industrial sectors, such as energy, transport, drinking and wastewater, health, digital infrastructure, banking and financial market, space and public administration. The peculiarities of critical infrastructure protection in each one of these sectors will be discussed and addressed by the different projects of the ECSCI cluster that will present their outcomes, discussing the technical, ethical and societal aspects and the underlying technologies.
Zaragoza Logistics Centre will represent the TRANSCEND project and present the project results during the second day of the event, in the session 1: EU research and innovation as a means of strengthening CI Resilience.
The workshop will include keynote speeches, projects presentations, roundtable and panel discussions, and thematic presentations. It is intended for scientists and experts in the field of critical infrastructure protection, CISOs, CIOs, CERTs, CSIRTs, CSOs, cyber and physical security experts representing different sectors and policy makers for critical infrastructure resilience.
