Scope
Critical systems - the lifeblood of modern society – such as energy grid, manufacturing, supply chain and space technologies, are undergoing a major transformation driven by digital technologies. Automation and autonomous decision-making promise to streamline operations, optimize resource allocation, and enable real-time monitoring and control. However, this transformation is a double-edged sword. While these advancements unlock significant efficiency gains, they also introduce new vulnerabilities.
Increased reliance on connectivity creates a broader attack surface for cybercriminals to exploit. Hackers can target vulnerabilities in connected devices, software, and communication protocols, potentially causing widespread disruption and catastrophic consequences. This workshop serves as a forum to explore these challenges and opportunities. We invite researchers and practitioners to submit papers on security, privacy and trust in critical systems and infrastructures.
We welcome submissions that address the unique challenges faced by a wide range of critical systems. This year we will focus on energy, manufacturing, supply chains and space technologies. However, we also welcome research on security and resiliency of other critical systems, such as nuclear facilities, next generation microreactors, chemical reactors, vital water treatment facilities, and the transportation sector with its growing adoption of electric vehicles and autonomous driving technologies.
