Abstract

The coastal ocean is an important and dynamic region that includes cities, deltas, estuaries, mariculture operations, navigation channels, and seaports. Teams of scientists, engineers and citizen scientists working to understand and mitigate negative impacts from coastal processes must also understand the individual, group, organizational, and societal factors affecting collaborators. To improve coastal resilience, collaboration is essential for all types of organizations (e.g., academia, business, government) because the problems facing most communities or organizations are too complex for the lone researcher, innovative company, or government agency. No individual or single organization has all the relevant information, knowledge or resources to solve challenging coastal resilience problems.

Abstract

The development of humanoid technology has been strongly influenced by recent advances in information technology and computing. An age characterised by digitalization has been ushered in as a result of the historical trajectory of information technology (IT) and its subsequent development, which has had a major influence on society all over the world [1].

Abstract

The integrity and resilience of Critical Infrastructures (CIs) are fundamental to the security, well-being and economic prosperity of Europe. However, the increasing complexity and interconnectedness of CIs pose new challenges, as disruptions in one CI can have cascading effects across multiple sectors and countries. ATLANTIS addresses these challenges by evaluating and addressing systemic risks against major natural hazards and complex attacks that could disrupt vital functions of European society. The project focuses on improving the resilience of interconnected CIs exposed to large-scale, combined Cyber-Physical-Human (CPH) threats and hazards. By providing sustainable security solutions, ATLANTIS aims to ensure the continuity of vital operations while minimising cascading effects and enhancing the protection of the involved population and the environment. ATLANTIS will be validated and demonstrated in three large-scale cross-border and cross-sector pilots (LSPs), with a focus on improving the security of the information exchange at different levels of operation: inside individual CIs, across CIs in a national security environment and across borders between CI operators.

Abstract

In our interconnected world, critical infrastructure systems are essential for modern societies. However, they face increasing threats, from cyberattacks to natural disasters. To address these challenges, the EU-CIP (Critical Infrastructure Protection) mission, a 3-year Coordination and Support Action funded by the European Commission, was initiated in October 2022. This chapter presents preliminary findings from the EU-CIP-ANALYSIS activities, shedding light on the evolving landscape of critical infrastructure protection. Preliminary findings reveal key needs, including adaptability, faster responses, and improved detection capabilities. Capability gaps include poor automation and inadequate control over interconnected assets. To address these needs and gaps, the EU-CIP mission has identified a range of state-of-the-art technologies and tools, including cyber-physical threat intelligence, security risk assessment, impact assessment tools, digital twins, anomaly detection, and machine learning for pattern detection. These technologies hold the potential to significantly enhance the resilience and security of critical infrastructure systems. This chapter provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of critical infrastructure protection and resilience, highlighting the importance of innovative solutions and collaboration among stakeholders in safeguarding the vital systems that underpin modern societies.
