The COVID-19 pandemic is an example of a temporary situation when critical infrastructure (CI) operators had to operate with continuously changing conditions. The role of cyber infrastructure during pandemics, for example for the remote work or access to critical systems, has also changed.

This is the last document of a series of 3 for designing a Reference Architecture for the continuum. The first document of the series presented an initial version of a common taxonomy, considering it as a unified language for all actors of the value chain.

This is the second document of a series of three defining a reference architecture for the continuum. In the previous one, different building blocks were identified setting the path for the different aspects to be taken into account while defining the architecture.

"Risk and resilience are interconnected concepts. In fact, one of our goals in SUNRISE is to integrate resilience metrics with risk metrics.

The CROSSCON is a research project that targets developing research ideas into practical techniques and supporting prototypes, and the level of ambition is to validate results in lab conditions that are representative of a complex IoT system (i.e., technology readiness levels TRL 4 and TRL5).

Cloud and edge computing are essential technologies in a computing continuum to ensure data is managed more efficiently – closer to the originating source rather than transmitting raw data to data centres. As recent studies suggest, data processing is moving closer to the edge.

Cybersecurity ecosystem in EU is a hot topic, as it relates to the recent establishment of the EU Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC), the Network of National Coordination Centres (NCCs) and the Cybersecurity Community (CC).

With the increased digitalization and adoption of cost-effective off-the-shelf components and cyber connectivity, Critical Infrastructures (CI) operators have benefited in many ways, but the attack surface has also become larger.

Four EU pilot projects were launched in 2019 (ECHO, SPARTA, CSEU, and CONCORDIA) with the focus on specific context of EU Regulation that is establishing the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC), together with the Network of National Coordination Centers (NCCs), and Competence communit

Cybersec4Europe project has been quite influential as a pilot of the Cyber Competence Network, contributing to a wide and rich community of cybersecurity stakeholders.

ZONESEC: built-in cyber-security for wide area surveillance system. Aljosa Pasic, Jose-Ramon Martinez-Salio, Susana Gonzalez Zarzosa, Rodrigo Diaz. Reggio Calabria, Italy, August 29 – September 1, 2017 (ARES 2017)

It describes how the multi-agent architecture originaly proposed in ZONeSEC project can be applied also to cyber-security components in order to address challenges such as cost, complexity or difficulty to coordinate activities in distributed settings, such as cross-border surveillance operations
