Abstract
Digital twin (DT) technology provides new opportunities to enhance the robustness and resilience of critical infrastructure. In this article, we discuss the potential of DTs as a proactive security enabler and present a vision for using DTs as a deception platform to thwart cyberattacks on critical national infrastructure (CNI). We propose a generic DT-driven deception-based solution called securing cyberphysical systems through DT-driven deception (INCEPTION), which can serve as a research-based DT-driven deception platform for CNI. INCEPTION is intended to provide a set of foundational components, establishing a baseline that supports further developmental work within the realm of cybersecurity deception. Furthermore, we discuss the way forward by identifying research challenges in DT-driven deception solutions.
期刊介绍:
This magazine provides a journal-quality evaluation and review of Internet-based computer applications and enabling technologies. It also provides a source of information as well as a forum for both users and developers. The focus of the magazine is on Internet services using WWW, agents, and similar technologies. This does not include traditional software concerns such as object-oriented or structured programming, or Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) or Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) standards. The magazine may, however, treat the intersection of these software technologies with the Web or agents. For instance, the linking of ORBs and Web servers or the conversion of KQML messages to object requests are relevant technologies for this magazine. An article strictly about CORBA would not be. This magazine is not focused on intelligent systems. Techniques for encoding knowledge or breakthroughs in neural net technologies are outside its scope, as would be an article on the efficacy of a particular expert system. Internet Computing focuses on technologies and applications that allow practitioners to leverage off services to be found on the Internet.
