Overview
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are a diverse group of systems used to physically manipulate critical infrastructure such as power and water, industrial systems, transportation systems, medical devices, security systems, building automation, emergency management, and many other systems vital to our well-being. When CPS malfunction or fail, the operation of corresponding systems in the real world can impair physical safety or trigger loss of life, cause enormous economic damage, and thwart the vital missions of businesses, cities, states and the nation. On 4-5 April 2013, The Cyber Security Research Alliance conducted a workshop with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to explore emerging research needs for cyber security in cyber- physical systems with the diverse cyber-physical community at large. This Report presents findings of workshop participants from the six topic-specific sessions, including a roadmap for research on ways to improve security of CPS
