Abstract\u00a0<\/strong>Socio-technical systems are\u00a0pervasive, comprising human, organisational and technical\u00a0components that interact with each other to achieve common objectives. Examples of socio-technical systems are smart cities,\u00a0airports, and hospitals. Each of these systems manages a large\u00a0number of assets, such as the data that is stored and shared and\u00a0the infrastructure itself. Security issues in socio-technical\u00a0systems might lead to severe consequences: a security issue in a\u00a0hospital might compromise the health of people, or a security\u00a0issue in an airport might threaten the lives of passengers and\u00a0staff. My research work consists of creating methods that support\u00a0the engineering of secure socio-technical systems to prevent,\u00a0detect and mitigate security issues. Given the intrinsic\u00a0heterogeneity of the components involved, a mere technical\u00a0solution is frequently not enough, while methods that consider technical, social and organisational\u00a0perspectives are considered more effective.\u00a0 In this presentation, I will provide an overview of\u00a0such holistic methods that I have designed and validated. The methods allow the engineering of secure socio-technical systems, connecting and facilitating the\u00a0design of aspects such as the objectives of actors, their\u00a0procedural execution and implementation. On the technical side, I\u00a0will present a method for the enforcement of security\u00a0requirements using technologies such as blockchain. On the\u00a0organisational and social side, I will present a method\u00a0that strengthens what has been considered the weak link of the\u00a0security chain, i.e., the people and their (un)secure behaviours.<\/p>\n
