Analysis of the Level of Security Provided by Advanced Information and Communication Technologies

Assessment of Cyber Physical System Risks with Domain Specific Modelling and Simulation

“…At the same time ubiquitous implementation of cyber physical systems as basic components and subsystems in existing and perspective information systems (IS), that make up the main core of large and commercial crucial infrastructure, leads to the need of giving them such an important systemcybernetic property as disaster tolerance [20]. Further, under the disaster tolerance of CPS should be understood the ability distributed computer complex, consisting of several CPS, to store critically important data and structure, and also continue to perform their functions after a massive (perhaps, purposeful) destruction of their components as a result of various cataclysms not only natural character, but also human-inspired [20][21][22]. This definition is accurately corresponds to the English term "Disaster Tolerance" (DT), but generally the term "Disaster Recovery" (DR) (literally "recovery after catastrophe") can also be translate as "Disaster Tolerance".…”

“…The difference between DR and DT is that DR focuses on the security of data (with strictly controlled losses, if they unavoidable), and the means for continuing full-fledged work are in many cases assumed external to the actual disaster-tolerant part of the complex. Thus, the disaster tolerance of CPS supposes first of all ensuring the safety of data, and the possibility to recover the data after a major local or global cataclysm, and at the same time an appropriate level of reliability (traditional, "local", fault-tolerant) of all or critical subsystems is provided by the same means [20][21][22]. As subsystems of modern corporate IS (CIS), which include the CFS, are distributed, in case of mass failures on one site, the main performance can be removed to another site.…”

“…By now the class of structural-functional synthesis tasks and management of CPS development has been investigated not deep enough. New scientific and practical results have been obtained in the following directions of research [21][22][23][24]: the synthesis of CPS technical structure under certain laws of functioning of the main CPS elements and subsystems (1st direction); synthesis of CPS functional structure, or, in another way, the synthesis of management programs of the CPS main elements and subsystems under the wellknown CPS technical structure (2nd direction); of synthesis programs for the creation and development of new generations of CPS without taking into account the stage of joint functioning of the existing CPS and the implemented CPS. A number of iterative procedures for obtaining a joint solution of problems, the research of which is carried out within the framework of the 1 and the 2 directions.…”
