Abstract

The abstract proposes an innovative model to assess combined Hybrid and Cyber Threat in Towns, Critical Infrastructures and Industrial Facilities; the approach use innovative MS2G (Modeling, interoperable Simulation and Serious Game) paradigm in combination with AI to support risk assessment as well as design and reengineering of architecture and procedures to enhance resilience of complex systems.
