Validation Strategy as a Part of the European Gas Network Protection
The European gas network currently includes approximately 200,000 km high pressure transmission and distribution pipelines. The needs and requirements of this network are focused on risk-based security asset management, impacts and cascading effects of cyber-physical attacks on interdependent and interconnected European Gas grids. The European SecureGas project tackles these issues by implementing, updating, and incrementally improving extended components, which are contextualized, customized, deployed, demonstrated and validated in three business cases, according to scenarios defined by the end-users. Just validation is considered to be a key end activity, the essence of which is the evaluation of the proposed solution to determine whether it satisfies specified requirements. Therefore, the chapter deals with the validation strategy that can be implemented for the verification of these objectives and evaluation of technological based solutions which aim to strengthen the resilience of the European gas network.

Resilience of Infrastructures and Systems to Multiple Hazardous Events: Application Cases and Future Perspectives
Nowadays, Critical Infrastructure and Systems are getting more and more interconnected, while facing increasing and more intensive hazards: from man-made to natural ones, including those exacerbated by effects of the climate change. The demand for their robustness and resiliency against all these threats is finding ground to organizations’ or states’ ambitions and policies. The paper focuses on a review from an engineering perspective of past efforts and more importantly provides evidence of application cases the authors have developed in the past years. Finally, an outlook on future perspectives and potentials in the application of resilience is provided.
