WaterSAFE: An Integrated Cyber-Physical Security Solution for Water Distribution Systems

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

ystems. Currently, CPS security solutions do not take into consideration the implications of cyber or physical attacks on system dynamics and controls. By leveraging state-of-the-art Digital Twin and machine learning technologies, WaterSAFE enables real-time simulation, detection, and analysis of the impacts of cyber-physical threats, marking a paradigm shift in CPS security analysis. This proposed system incorporates an Early Warning System for real-time anomaly detection in both cyber and physical states, offering advanced response tools for mitigating contamination incidents caused by cyber or physical attacks. Additionally, WaterSAFE offers interactive training platforms for water operators that facilitate enhancing critical skills for effective responses in real-world emergency scenarios. WaterSAFE uses scientific results from the ERC SyG Water-Futures project on real-time water quality state estimation, machine learning for event diagnosis, CPS security, and contamination management, toward a proof-of-concept Minimum Viable Product (MVP), demonstrated in a small-scale testbed
