Critical Infrastructures are defined as “assets, systems or part thereof which are essential for the maintenance of vital societal functions, health, safety, security, economic or social well-being of people, and the disruption or destruction of which would have a significant impact as a result of the failure to maintain those functions.” Critical Infrastructures refer to a multitude of sectors, including energy, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and public safety. Systems deployed within these sectors integrate both information technologies and operational technologies, being commonly reliant on legacy industrial control and cyberphysical systems. Nevertheless, novel disruptive and enabling information and communication technologies are increasingly integrated, increasing connectivity and interdependencies, thus presenting security professionals with significant challenges in maintaining and enhancing the security and resilience of such infrastructures. This Special Issue invites submissions that present innovative ideas, proof of concepts, use cases, and results from a variety of topics relevant to critical infrastructure cybersecurity and resilience, including (but not limited to) the following ones:
Security Governance Security policies Risk analysis and management Vulnerability assessment and metrics Awareness, training, and simulation ICS/CPS security standards Privacy and Anonymity in ICS/CPS System and Network Security Threat modeling Security architectures Access control Malware and cyber weapons Intrusion detection and visualization Defense in depth Monitoring and real-time supervision Applied cryptography Perimeter security Safety-security interactions Cybersecurity engineering Secure communication protocols Formal models for ICS/CPS security Hardware Security Resilient ICS/CPS Application Security Secure Firmware Incident Response and Digital Forensics for ICS/CPS Forensics in ICS Incident Response Accountability Case Studies Case studies in the energy, utility, chemical, transportation, manufacturing, and other industrial and critical infrastructure sectors ------------ Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to the website. Once you are registered, click to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website. Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Signals is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI. Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript.
