Distributed Control Systems Security for CPS

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cyber Security for Cyber Physical Systems

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 768))

Abstract

Distributed control systems (DCSs) are one of the founding technologies of the cyber-physical systems (CPSs), which are implemented in industries and grids. The DCSs are studies from the aspect of design, architecture, modeling, framework, management, security, and risk. From the findings, it was identified that the security of these systems is the most vital aspect among the modern issues. To address the security of DCSs, it is important to understand the bridging features between DCSs and the CPSs in order to protect them from cyberattacks against known and unknown vulnerabilities.
