Unleashing the Digital Twin's Potential for ICS Security

With the advent of Industry 4.0 (I4.0), traditional operational-technology and IT systems converge, entailing novel attack vectors. However, I4.0 technologies might also contribute to industrial security. Digital Twins are virtual entities of physical industrial systems that offer opportunities for security, such as simulation and replication of system behavior.
