This contributed volume tells the story of the establishment of a cybersecurity awareness framework for organizations, and how it was piloted in two public sector municipal contexts. It presents a clear picture of cybersecurity issues in municipalities and proposes a socio-technical solution for creating cybersecurity awareness, how to build the solution and what the impact is on the municipal contexts. The 9 chapters for this book also provide information regarding the design, the deployment and the evaluation of the technology.This book builds on the success of the European Horizon 2020 research and innovation project CS-AWARE. The research proposes the first cybersecurity situational awareness solution for local public administrations  based on an analysis of the context, provides automatic incident detection and visualization, and enables information exchange with relevant national and EU level authorities involved in legislation and network security.Cybersecurity is one of the most challenging security problems for commercial companies, NGOs, governmental institutions as well as individuals. Reaching beyond the technology focused boundaries of classical information technology (IT) security, cybersecurity includes organizational and behavioral aspects of IT systems and that needs to comply to legal and regulatory framework for cybersecurity. While large corporations might have the resources to follow those developments and bring their IT infrastructure and services in line with the requirements, the burden for smaller organizations like local public administrations will be substantial and the required resources might not be available. New and innovative solutions that would help local public administration to ease the burden of being in line with cybersecurity requirements are needed.This book targets researchers working in cybersecurity, computer scientists, social scientists and advanced level students studying computer science and other related disciplines. Cybersecurity professionals as well as professionals working in local government contexts, including policy makers, communication experts and system administrators will also benefit from this book.

This open access book explores the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, data and robotics (ADR), highlighting their foundational principles, transformative applications and future directions. Emphasising ethical considerations, human-centric design and sustainability, it sets the stage for understanding how multidisciplinary collaboration and strategic foresight are critical to unlocking the full potential of ADR in creating a competitive, inclusive and resilient digital society.The chapters are organized in three parts and provide a comprehensive overview of the key research agendas, innovative frameworks and real-world deployments that define the current and emerging state of ADR. First, Foundations introduces the strategic, technical and conceptual foundations that underpin Europe’s ADR ecosystem. Collectively, the contributions establish a robust foundation strategically guided by the vision put forward through the European AI, Data and Robotics Association and practically informed by emerging technologies and methodologies. Next, the chapters in Transformations examine the transformative impact of ADR technologies across diverse industrial and societal domains. They provide a comprehensive and nuanced view of how ADR are reshaping industries, infrastructure and human-centred applications and emphasise the importance of interdisciplinary approaches, ethical considerations and technological innovation. Eventually, Future Directions explores the critical pathways for advancing ADR technologies through strategic planning, applied industrial innovation and human-centred approaches. The selected chapters present a coherent and forward-looking narrative: setting strategic priorities, translating them into transformative industrial applications and addressing the nuanced human factors essential for the responsible and effective deployment of ADR technologies.By exploring cutting-edge theory, technologies, methodologies, and best practices within industrial and public sector scenarios, the book provides researchers, professionals and policy makers with a basis for understanding the scientific foundations, the transformation potential, and the future research challenges of ADR technologies.
