Abstract

Modern societies experience increased cyber-physical attack threats because they created integrated systems which weakened their ability to protect national stability and economic well-being and public security foundations. The investigative process functions to examine cyber-physical attack resilience through the assessment of system exposure levels and protection systems and operational systems in various sectors. The analysis includes both qualitative research methods and quantitative indicators by using current risk management models and resilience assessment frameworks and cybersecurity principles. IoT and SCADA system deployments throughout the energy sector and transportation together with water supply systems have increased exposure as Zhou et al. (2023), Peng et al. (2023), and Clay (2023) establish. Performing risk assessments becomes challenging because risk measurement techniques fail to follow standardization and numerous regions lack proper incident response plans (Bellora-Bienengräber et al., 2023; Mouratidis et al., 2023). The synchronization of digital twins with network governance allows 3D LiDAR real-time monitoring of point clouds alongside digital twin models to produce extensive resilience solutions, according to Ye et al. (2023), Kapucu et al. (2023), Sharifisoraki et al. (2023). Different academic disciplines come together through this research to create a new framework while developing data-based approaches for reducing cyber-physical threats. Standard practices between industries should be converged alongside improved cyber hygiene measures that integrate community needs and infrastructure into modelling systems (Arvin et al., 2023; Gerges et al., 2023).
