The 1st Workshop on Cybersecurity of Digital Twins and Interconnected Cyber Physical Systems (SecCPS) brings together experts to address the pressing cybersecurity challenges facing modern interconnected systems. As digital transformation accelerates across industries, the need for robust security frameworks in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Digital Twins (DTs) has never been greater.
Workshop Overview
This workshop is dedicated to advancing research and practical solutions for securing CPS and DTs. With the increasing integration of IoT, Smart Grids, Intelligent Transport Systems, and Industrial Control Systems, these environments are exposed to sophisticated cyber threats that can disrupt both digital and physical operations. The event highlights the importance of confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience in protecting critical infrastructure.
Participants will explore adaptive, multi-layered cybersecurity strategies designed to defend against evolving attack vectors. The workshop encourages the development of solutions that safeguard not only digital assets but also the physical processes they control.
Core Topics and Themes
Key subjects include anomaly and intrusion detection, artificial intelligence for cybersecurity, zero-touch mitigation, and secure communications. The agenda also covers privacy protection, attack vector measurement, security of federated Digital Twins, and the implementation of zero-trust models. Additional focus areas involve sustainable cybersecurity, inter-twin communications, industrial wireless security, and programmable edge/cloud-native security frameworks.
Attendees will gain insights into network security management, post-quantum security, and advanced attack modeling techniques such as man-in-the-middle, false data injection, and denial of service scenarios. These discussions are tailored to address the unique challenges of interconnected, real-time environments.
Audience and Impact
The workshop is designed for cybersecurity researchers, engineers, and practitioners working in CPS, IoT, industrial automation, and smart infrastructure. It serves as a platform for academics, R&D professionals, security architects, network engineers, and decision-makers from sectors such as energy, transportation, manufacturing, and utilities.
By fostering education, thought leadership, and community building, the event supports the development of resilient, secure systems that protect both digital and physical domains. Attendees will have opportunities to network, share research, and form partnerships aimed at advancing the state of cybersecurity in critical infrastructure.
