The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online.ENACT is a research project funded by the European Commission under its H2020 program. The project consortium consists of twelve industry and research member organisations spread across the whole EU.The overall goal of the ENACT project was to provide a novel set of solutions to enable DevOps in the realm of trustworthy Smart IoT Systems. Smart IoT Systems (SIS) are complex systems involving not only sensors but also actuators with control loops distributed all across the IoT, Edge and Cloud infrastructure. Since smart IoT systems typically operate in a changing and often unpredictable environment, the ability of these systems to continuously evolve and adapt to their new environment is decisive to ensure and increase their trustworthiness, quality and user experience. DevOps has established itself as a software development life-cycle model that encourages developers to continuously bring new features to the system under operation without sacrificing quality.This book reports on the ENACT work to empower the development and operation as well as the continuous and agile evolution of SIS, which is necessary to adapt the system to changes in its environment, such as newly appearing trustworthiness threats.

This Open Access book describes the DYNABIC project outcomes and how they solve major challenges in the development and operation of resilient critical infrastructures.Essential services of today’s modern societies rely on Critical Infrastructures (CIs). These are large and complex cyber-physical systems (CPS) that provide critical and essential goods and services to citizens. CIs services do not operate in isolation, they are interconnected with other infrastructures, which allows disruptions to propagate. Due to their criticality, these infrastructures are becoming a key target for attacks, yet they need to ensure maximum business continuity and high resilience in the face of hazards.Thereby, a fundamental research question is “how can we enhance CIs capabilities to effectively prevent, mitigate, and recover from incidents in a context in which (i) human factors, (ii) collaboration of heterogeneous organizations during the CI development of operation, and (iii) interconnections between CIs must be considered?”The answer to these questions has formed the core of the DYNABIC Horizon Europe Project. The overall ambition of DYNABIC is “to deliver new socio-technical methods, models, and tools to support resilience through holistic business continuity risk management and control in operation, and dynamic adaptation of responses at system, human and organization planes”. To achieve this, DYNABIC adopts and extends the SecDevOps approach employed for other Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) systems to ensure a continuum of care.
