Digital development in rural environments and communities allows for the incorporation of new areas of work into the traditional economy. The use of technologies such as IoT and artificial intelligence in environments such as agriculture, heritage conservation or the generation of renewable energy for use in rural energy communities has created specific challenges in the field of cybersecurity. This summer course will analyse the implementations of IoT technologies in these areas as well as the cybersecurity solutions needed to develop secure and reliable environments. This summer course is funded through the "Smart Rural IoT and Secured Environments" chair, associated with the action for the promotion of Cyber Security Chairs in Spain of the National Institute of Cybersecurity (INCIBE). This initiative is carried out in the framework of the EU-funded Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan funds (Next Generation), the Spanish Government's blueprint for modernising the Spanish economy, recovering economic growth and job creation, strengthening inclusive and resilient economic reconstruction after the COVID-19 crisis, and responding to the challenges of the next decade.
