The pervasive use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has transformed our critical infrastructure to smart systems capable of autonomous control and communication. These smart capabilities come with the price of increasing the attack surface hence cyber threats. Existing technologies to secure critical infrastructure rely heavily on IT security solutions to safeguard the IoT devices and control network, with little awareness about the impact of cyber threats on the controlled physical system. This results in less accurate risk assessment and poor decision-making. Our solution is an autonomous decision support system that utilises a digital twin for the physical system to give a better threat intelligence and situational awareness, and to enable more accurate decision-making. The technology has the potential to enable more resilient critical infrastructure.

物联网（IoT）设备的普遍使用已经将我们的关键基础设施转变为能够自主控制和通信的智能系统。这些智能功能的代价是增加攻击面，从而增加网络威胁。保护关键基础设施的现有技术在很大程度上依赖于IT安全解决方案来保护物联网设备和控制网络，而很少意识到网络威胁对受控物理系统的影响。这导致风险评估不准确和决策不佳。我们的解决方案是一个自主决策支持系统，它利用物理系统的数字孪生模型来提供更好的威胁情报和态势感知，并实现更准确的决策。该技术有可能实现更具弹性的关键基础设施。
