Abstract

Critical Infrastructures (CIs) are vital for modern societies, encompassing diverse sectors such as healthcare, banking, emergency services, energy, water distribution, oil and gas, and transportation. Over time, these CIs have become increasingly reliant on technology to ensure their seamless operations. The reliable and secure operation of these CIs holds paramount importance for a nation's economy and the well-being of society. This paper presents the findings and discussions from the 4th International Workshop on Engineering and Cybersecurity of Critical Systems (EnCyCriS - 2023). The main purpose of this EnCyCriS workshop is to collect contributions from practitioners and researchers working on challenges and solutions for engineering and cybersecurity of critical systems in the Fourth Revolution (4IR). The 2023 edition has accepted and presented six papers. In addition, there was a keynote talk from a Senior Research Scientist in safety and security of digital technologies within safety critical industries in addition to an open discussion about the "Future of IT and OT". This workshop was colocated with the 45th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE - 2023), which took place on 20th May 2023.
