3rd IOCRCI Workshop: Impact of IT/OT Convergence on the Resilience of Critical Infrastructures

    Scope of the workshop

    The half-day IOCRCI workshop offers a timely venue for researchers, governmental and industry partners to present and discuss their latest results on the impact of IT/OT Convergence on the Resilience of Critical Infrastructures. We aim to get a clear understanding of the research and operational challenges for this theme, including insight in the state-of-the-art, availability of data sets and testbeds, positioning papers, experimental and operational experience and situational awareness around the subject.

    Two successful editions of the IOCRCI workshop have been held, in conjunction with the IFIP NETWORKING conference:

    This workshop will be held exclusively in-person.

    Topics of interest:

    Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

    • Challenges for (cyber) resilient critical infrastructures
    • State-of-the-art studies
    • Lessons learnt from cyber-attacks and/or cascading failures on critical infrastructures
    • Methods for predicting upcoming failures in critical infrastructures
    • Security by design
    • Detection and mitigation of anomalies indicating cyberattacks or other resilience threats
    • Digital twins for (cyber) resilience
    • Methods for modeling resiliency in critical infrastructures
    • Methods for situational awareness and incident response
    • Self-healing for cyber resilience
    • Methods for countermeasures and mitigation actions in critical infrastructures
