MASS Cybersecurity

As systems become more autonomous, decision-making is made less and by people, and more by machines. Furthermore, the human-in-the-loop that is still making critical decisions becomes more reliant on digital information coming from cyber-physical systems. In addition to understanding how systems, and the human-in-the-loop, can err or make mistakes, it is also important to understand how cyberattacks can take advantage of vulnerabilities in MASS systems. This chapter defines what MASS cyber-physical security looks like, from general threats to current threats, and ways to protect and build cyber resilience in MASS.
