​Securing Cyber-Physical Systems: Challenges & Solutions

Securing cyber-physical systems involves protecting integrated digital and physical components from cyber threats. Ensuring their safety is critical for infrastructure, healthcare, and manufacturing, where disruptions can have severe real-world consequences.

Challenges in Securing CPS

• Complexity and Interconnectivity: CPS are composed of numerous interconnected components, including sensors, actuators, control systems, and communication networks. The complexity and interdependence of these components increase the attack surface.
• Legacy Systems: Many CPS incorporate legacy systems that were not designed with modern security threats in mind. These systems often lack basic security features and are difficult to update.
• Real-Time Constraints: CPS often operate in real-time environments where delays ....
