| cyber security case study examples: Reinforcement Learning for Cyber-Physical Systems Chong Li, Meikang Qiu, 2019-02-22 Reinforcement Learning for Cyber-Physical Systems: with Cybersecurity Case Studies was inspired by recent developments in the fields of reinforcement learning (RL) and cyber-physical systems (CPSs). Rooted in behavioral psychology, RL is one of the primary strands of machine learning. Different from other machine learning algorithms, such as supervised learning and unsupervised learning, the key feature of RL is its unique learning paradigm, i.e., trial-and-error. Combined with the deep neural networks, deep RL become so powerful that many complicated systems can be automatically managed by AI agents at a superhuman level. On the other hand, CPSs are envisioned to revolutionize our society in the near future. Such examples include the emerging smart buildings, intelligent transportation, and electric grids. However, the conventional hand-programming controller in CPSs could neither handle the increasing complexity of the system, nor automatically adapt itself to new situations that it has never encountered before. The problem of how to apply the existing deep RL algorithms, or develop new RL algorithms to enable the real-time adaptive CPSs, remains open. This book aims to establish a linkage between the two domains by systematically introducing RL foundations and algorithms, each supported by one or a few state-of-the-art CPS examples to help readers understand the intuition and usefulness of RL techniques. Features Introduces reinforcement learning, including advanced topics in RL Applies reinforcement learning to cyber-physical systems and cybersecurity Contains state-of-the-art examples and exercises in each chapter Provides two cybersecurity case studies Reinforcement Learning for Cyber-Physical Systems with Cybersecurity Case Studies is an ideal text for graduate students or junior/senior undergraduates in the fields of science, engineering, computer science, or applied mathematics. It would also prove useful to researchers and engineers interested in cybersecurity, RL, and CPS. The only background knowledge required to appreciate the book is a basic knowledge of calculus and probability theory. |
| cyber security case study examples: At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy National Research Council, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, Computer Science and Telecommunications Board, Committee on Developing a Cybersecurity Primer: Leveraging Two Decades of National Academies Work, 2014-06-16 We depend on information and information technology (IT) to make many of our day-to-day tasks easier and more convenient. Computers play key roles in transportation, health care, banking, and energy. Businesses use IT for payroll and accounting, inventory and sales, and research and development. Modern military forces use weapons that are increasingly coordinated through computer-based networks. Cybersecurity is vital to protecting all of these functions. Cyberspace is vulnerable to a broad spectrum of hackers, criminals, terrorists, and state actors. Working in cyberspace, these malevolent actors can steal money, intellectual property, or classified information; impersonate law-abiding parties for their own purposes; damage important data; or deny the availability of normally accessible services. Cybersecurity issues arise because of three factors taken together - the presence of malevolent actors in cyberspace, societal reliance on IT for many important functions, and the presence of vulnerabilities in IT systems. What steps can policy makers take to protect our government, businesses, and the public from those would take advantage of system vulnerabilities? At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy offers a wealth of information on practical measures, technical and nontechnical challenges, and potential policy responses. According to this report, cybersecurity is a never-ending battle; threats will evolve as adversaries adopt new tools and techniques to compromise security. Cybersecurity is therefore an ongoing process that needs to evolve as new threats are identified. At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy is a call for action to make cybersecurity a public safety priority. For a number of years, the cybersecurity issue has received increasing public attention; however, most policy focus has been on the short-term costs of improving systems. In its explanation of the fundamentals of cybersecurity and the discussion of potential policy responses, this book will be a resource for policy makers, cybersecurity and IT professionals, and anyone who wants to understand threats to cyberspace. |

| cyber security case study examples: The Fourth Industrial Revolution Klaus Schwab, 2017-01-03 World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress. |

| cyber security case study examples: Introduction to Automotive Cybersecurity Silviu Ciuta, 2023-10-20 In today's fast-paced, interconnected world, the automotive industry stands at the forefront of technological innovation. Modern vehicles are no longer just mechanical marvels; they have evolved into rolling computers on wheels. This transformation has not only revolutionized the driving experience but has also introduced new challenges and vulnerabilities, chief among them being automotive cybersecurity. The Mechanical Era The roots of the automotive industry trace back to the late 19th century, with pioneers like Karl Benz and Henry Ford introducing the world to the marvels of the motor vehicle. In these early days, cars were purely mechanical contraptions, devoid of any digital components. The idea of a car hack was inconceivable as there were no computers or electronic control units (ECUs) to compromise. The Emergence of Digital Control The 20th century brought about a pivotal shift as automotive engineers began incorporating electronic systems for improved performance, safety, and comfort. The introduction of the Engine Control Unit (ECU) marked a significant milestone. ECUs allowed for more precise control over engine functions, optimizing fuel efficiency and emissions. As digital technology became more pervasive, ECUs multiplied and evolved to control various aspects of the vehicle, from anti-lock brakes to airbags. Vehicles were becoming increasingly reliant on software and electronic components. This shift enhanced vehicle performance and opened the door to exciting new features, but it also laid the groundwork for cybersecurity concerns. The First Signs of Vulnerability In the early 21st century, automotive cybersecurity entered the public consciousness. Researchers began uncovering vulnerabilities in vehicles' digital systems. The emergence of keyless entry systems and wireless tire pressure monitoring systems raised concerns. These convenience features, while enhancing the driving experience, also presented opportunities for malicious actors to exploit wireless communications. In 2010, researchers demonstrated the remote hijacking of a car's systems, a watershed moment that alerted the industry to the looming threats. It was a wake-up call for manufacturers to recognize that cars, like any other connected devices, could be hacked. Industry Response and Regulations As the threat landscape evolved, the automotive industry mobilized to address cybersecurity concerns. Manufacturers started implementing security measures in their vehicles, and organizations such as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) began developing standards for automotive cybersecurity. These standards aimed to guide manufacturers in securing their vehicles against potential threats. |
