Abstract

Cyber risk assessment of a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) without damaging it and without contaminating it with malware is an important and hard problem. Previous work developed a solution to this problem using a control component for simulating cyber effects in a CPS model to mimic a cyber attack. This paper extends the previous work by presenting an algorithm for semi-automated insertion of control components into a CPS model based on Discrete Event Systems (DEVS) formalism. We also describe how to use this algorithm to insert a control component into Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) environments that may have non-DEVS models, thereby extending our solution to other systems in general.
