Abstract: There is a critical need for government, industry, and academic collaboration and action in addressing vulnerabilities unique to hardware assurance of electronic parts and assemblies, software assurance, and security of cyber physical systems (CPS). Stakeholders across the supply chain need to look at the problem holistically and address all areas of concern with a perspective towards resilience to cover vulnerabilities unique to the CPS architecture.
Assessing cyber vulnerabilities can be daunting and depends on where one draws the boundaries. Cyber system vulnerabilities include software, hardware, firmware, adjacent systems in the network, energy supplies that power it, and users who interface with it. It is a pervasive threat environment. The expanse of the threat environment requires a systems engineering approach to ensure wider, collaborative resiliency. Approaching cyber physical systems security through the lens of resilience will enable the application of both integrated and targeted security measures and policies that ensure the continued functionality of critical safety and security of our cyber physical systems.
This discussion will focus on the need for cross-industry collaboration for cyber physical systems security from a systems engineering perspective and the efforts of the SAE G-32 Cyber Physical Systems Security committee to address the pervasive threat.
