Workshop on Cybersecurity of Critical Infrastructures

연구 분야: Infrastructure

학회: IFIP International Summer School on Privacy and Identity Management

This paper reports the presentation and discussion during the Cybersecurity of Critical Infrastructures workshop organized as a part of the 18th IFIP Summer School on Privacy and Identity Management. Furthermore, this paper also pointed to several promising future research directions. This workshop was primarily aimed at empowering PhD candidates, MSc students, and early-career researchers with insights into Critical Infrastructure (CI) security. The workshop provided participants with guidance on navigating the intricacies of safeguarding CIs, such as those in the energy and oil and gas sectors. It encompasses various aspects, from familiarizing participants with cybersecurity standards and frameworks to understanding tools and approaches that adversaries might leverage to target a system. Additionally, it also addresses how to mitigate socio-legal implications and security issues, particularly in relation to human factors. This initiative embraced a holistic approach to cybersecurity education, covering vital components like rigorous risk management, comprehensive cybersecurity training and awareness programs. This in turn would equip participants with some essential knowledge and skills to fortify critical operations against the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape.
