With the increased use of cyber physical systems in current defense, medical, and energy applications, it is critical for the infrastructure to remain secure. As such, it is important to identify potential security flaws early in the design process in order to produce a consistent, secure and reliable system with minimal fabrication costs. This task can be accomplished using threat modeling. Threat modeling can be separated into two diverse fragments, asset centric and attack centric threat modeling.
This research thrust focuses on the design and development of a highly accessible and scalable testbed environment for supporting the evaluation and experimentation efforts across the entire SURE research portfolio. This work is based on our existing technologies and previous results with the Command and Control Windtunnel (C2WT), a large-scale simulation integration platform and WebGME, a metaprogrammable web-based modeling environment with special emphasis

CPS employ Networked Control Systems (NCS) to facilitate real-time monitoring and control. Security of the NCS infrastructure is a large problem due to (1) the wide deployment of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) computing devices, (2) the connectivity of NCS with the Internet, and (3) the existence of organized motivated attackers. Traditional IT security solutions are used in NCS, they cannot prevent all cyber attacks. Our goal is to complement IT security with resilient algorithms for monitoring and control in order to reduce NCS security risks.
