Cyber-Physical Threat Intelligence for Critical Infrastructures Security: Securing Critical Infrastructures in Air Transport, Water, Gas, Healthcare

Cyber-Physical Threat Intelligence (CPTI) is needed for designing, implementing, and operating systems for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP), as the boundaries between physical security and cybersecurity are blurred. This book presents novel solutions for integrated CPTI for infrastructures in various sectors, such as Industrial Sites and Plants, Air Transport, Gas, Healthcare, and Finance, using novel methods and technologies such as integrated modelling, novel reliance indicators, and data driven approaches including BigData analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The solutions consider the European policy context for Security, Cyber security, and Critical Infrastructure protection and have been developed and validated in the scope of several European Commission (EC) co-funded projects on CIP.

Modern critical infrastructures, characterized by their vast scale and interconnectedness, can be aptly described as large-scale Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). As such, designing, implementing, and operating systems for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) necessitates a seamless integration of physical security and cybersecurity principles. In the face of emerging systems for Critical Infrastructures Security and Protection, it is imperative to adopt integrated approaches that emphasize the interplay between cybersecurity and physical security techniques. Consequently, there arises a pressing need for a novel type of integrated security intelligence, namely Cyber-Physical Threat Intelligence (CPTI).

This book offers innovative solutions for integrated Cyber-Physical Threat Intelligence across diverse sectors, including Industrial Sites and Plants, Air Transport, Gas, Healthcare, and Finance. These solutions employ cutting-edge methods and technologies, such as integrated modeling for cyber-physical systems, novel reliance indicators, and data-driven approaches encompassing BigData analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Certain approaches presented in the book are sector agnostic, meaning they can be applied across different sectors with minimal customization efforts. Nevertheless, the book also highlights specific challenges faced by different sectors and proposes tailored solutions to address them.

The presented solutions take into account the European policy context for Security, Cybersecurity, and Critical Infrastructure protection, as established by the European Commission (EC) to assist its Member States in safeguarding and enhancing the resilience of their critical infrastructures. The majority of the co-authors and contributors hail from European Research and Technology Organizations and European Critical Infrastructure Operators, reflecting the European approach to CIP, as encapsulated in the pillars of the Europe.
