This volume contains the proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Critical Information Infrastructures Security (CRITIS 2018). The conference was held at the Vytautas Magnus University, Kaunas, Lithuania during September 24–26, 2018. The conference was organized by the Lithuanian Energy Institute and Vytautas Magnus University.

Panel discussions led by the session chairman Marcelo Masera (European Commission, Joint Research Centre, Petten, The Netherlands) between these invited speakers and interactions with the audience stimulated the long-term debate between energy domain stakeholders and the research community.
As in previous years, the Program Committee received a large set of paper submissions. The Program Committee provided insightful reviews and comments to the authors of 51 papers. At least three, on average 4.6 independent reviews per submission took place resulting in the acceptance of 16 full papers. Therefore, the acceptance rate was 31%. Another three submissions were accepted as short papers. All these papers are published in this proceedings volume.
The selected reviewed papers and their presentations were grouped in the conference program under the topic sections “Advanced Analysis of Critical Energy Systems”, “Strengthening Urban Resilience”, “Securing Internet of Things and Industrial Control Systems”, “Need and Tool Sets for Industrial Control System Security”, “Advancements in Governance and Resilience of Critical Infrastructures”, and “Short papers”. The same outline can be found in this volume.
To stimulate international collaboration and exchange of ideas, the program chairs invited work-in-progress projects for a short presentation and poster session. There were three candidates for the Young CRITIS Award (YCA): Luca Faramondi, Davide Fauri, and Anamitra Pal. The intention of the YCA is building a virtual international community that allows junior researchers in the C(I)I domain to interact and network with peers and experienced researchers in the C(I)I domain. This stimulates faster and better research results and may also lead to further joint international research. The fifth YCA was presented by Marco Santarelli (Scientific Director ReS On Network, Italy) as chair of the YCA commission to Anamitra Pal (Pal Lab, SECEE, Arizona State University) for his contribution to the paper “Health Monitoring of Critical Power System Equipments Using Identifying Codes”.
Organizing a conference like CRITIS entails an effort that is largely invisible to the participants. We, therefore, want to acknowledge the personal commitment of the local organizing team, general chairs, the contributions by the keynote speakers and invited speakers, as well as the support of the host organizations Vytautas Magnus University and the Lithuanian Energy Institute. The Program Committee chairs express their gratitude to the Technical Program Committee members who volunteered their services and devoted considerable time in preparing insightful reviews and comments to the authors of the papers. Together with the contributions to the discussions and interactions between all conference participants, this resulted in a very successful and stimulating CRITIS 2018.
