In Today’s Digitized world, it is strategically imperative to secure energy grids against cyberattacks, as critical infrastructures have increasingly become targets in modern warfare. As part I of this work highlighted, cyberattacks serve not just as tools of disruption but as sophisticated instruments of geopolitical strategy. To complement the discussion in [1] , this work addresses the existing gaps in cybersecurity measures that protect energy infrastructure systems, discussing the importance of implementing rigorous preventive measures and exploring the role of standardization in enhancing the resilience of energy infrastructures.

For Years, Experts have expressed growing concerns that critical infrastructures are vulnerable to cyberattacks. Remotely transmitted malware and viruses can compromise interconnected power systems, airports, hospitals, military systems, and any Internet-connected computers used to manage critical functions. As the world becomes more digitalized, integrating new communication technologies offers unlimited possibilities for the accumulation of information, creating a fundamental dependence on proper functioning in all areas of society. As such reliance could offer great opportunities for a smart and efficient world, it also poses significant threats to the operation of critical infrastructures and vital facilities. Specifically, safety issues from illegal acts that violate the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of information in cyberspace are expected to be the central theme in the digitalized world. Exploitation of cyberspace to advance political, social, and military agendas is of particular concern.

In April 2022, I was invited to lecture at Villanova University, Villanova, PA, USA, and I met Dr. Pritpal Singh. Later, in June of that year during the IEEE TAB Series, I met the then President of the Humanitarian Activities Committee (HAC), Dr. Sampathkumar Veeraraghavan. Later, in July during the IEEE Latin American Electron Devices Conference (LAEDC) sponsored by the IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS), I was invited to give a keynote talk and to be part of a panel. Mario Aleman conducted this panel session on Humanitarian Technology 2022, which also included both above-mentioned individuals. I also had the opportunity to meet the fourth panelist, Dr. Morgan Kiani (see Figure 1 ).

Spain’s Comunitat Valenciana (Valencian Community) ( Figure 1 ) has a rich agricultural history, with long traditions of resilience and innovation. This tradition, along with the community’s deep ethic of respect for the land, remains at the core of the region’s approach to climate change and sustainability.

Publications are only as strong as the people who make them work. As part of this new chapter in IEEE Technology and Society Magazine (TSM), this is the first in a series of pieces to introduce the new associate editors who represent a powerhouse of knowledge on the social implications of technology and are leaders from across the many varied disciplines that the IEEE Society for the Social Implications of Technology (IEEE SSIT) encompasses. We hope the answers below highlight the ways in which the associate editors are both scholars and engaged citizens whose work aims to make positive change as it addresses (or transforms) harms related to social–technical relationships. Reading through the answers from the associate editors’ work and interests, what becomes clear is that seriously engaging with technology and society concepts leads to richer research projects and more meaningful ways in which to address technological and social problems.

Stories of technological hubris and its dire consequences have an unfailing attraction. The Greek myth of Dedalus and Icarus is a paradigm for historians of technology as powerful as that of Oedipus is for Freudian psychoanalysis. Father and son, Dedalus and Icarus, are held prisoners in a labyrinth on the Island of Crete. Determined to escape, they choose a route through the air and so create wings made of willow branches, connecting them together and to themselves with wax. The father warns his son not to fly too close to the sun. The youth ignores the warning, his wax melts, and he drowns in the ocean.

Wow. Here I am, writing my first editorial as Editor-in-Chief (EIC). If you know me, you know I always have something to say. And yet, faced with my first editorial, I am overcome with gratitude and humility. I have been a long-time reader of IEEE Technology and Society Magazine (IEEE TSM) because it is a rare place where social and technological concerns come together in a way that respects both the technological details as well as the critical, social areas that influence technological invention and adoption.
