ICT Systems Contributing to European Secure-by-Design Critical Infrastructures

Abstract

Over the last two decades, the world's landscape changed considerably, relying increasingly on the availability and exchange of information in all sectors to fuel economic growth and improved competitiveness. ICT systems, whether we speak of applications, telecommunications or integrated system solutions, are key components of many Critical Infrastructures, and, as such, their disruption, malfunction or compromise can seriously impact our societal and individual well being.
