Resilience of Critical Infrastructures - Challenges and Approaches in Digitalization (German)

Our society is becoming more digital and thus more dependent on resilient digital infrastructures. At the same time, attacks on critical infrastructures are increasing and threaten the security of supply for the population.
The workshop will include keynote presentations on theoretical and practical aspects of critical infrastructure resilience and its importance for societal life and the requirements of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.
The presentations and the practical examples described therein are intended to create an awareness of the risks, needs and challenges of the digitalization of critical infrastructures. Solution approaches and recommendations for action are to be discussed with the workshop participants.
M. Hellmann describes in his presentation theoretical aspects of digital resilience and how it is applied in emergency planning and crisis response. Resilience theory is based on the four processual cornerstones of responding, monitoring, learning and anticipating, which can be used to describe the performance characteristics of resilient systems.
In his presentation, S. Pickl describes how complex reachback architectures can be used to develop early warning systems. In this context, the intelligent use of sensors will be of particular importance in the future. Ethical aspects in the context of "security and digitalization" will also be addressed.
M. Atug describes in his presentation the complex challenges in IT environments of critical infrastructures. For example, what does remote maintenance and remote access look like? What IT security challenges do critical infrastructures operators face and why?
