Abstract

The explosive growth of the Internet has introduced advanced services facilitating our ever day life. On the other hand, it created increased dependence on computer systems, which may be seen as an additional source of vulnerability to disruption scenarios due to both physical and cyber-based incidents. This could be applied to decentralized critical infrastructure management systems, which play a key role in reducing costs and improving the quality of service of industrial processes, such as electricity distribution. This talk is focused on the cyber security of interconnected Critical Infrastructures (CIs), and especially Cyber-Physical CIs. A novel approach for simulating and emulating parts of critical interconnected infrastructures is presented, which is used as a testbed for policy supporting and research purposes.
