“…Frank et al [ 16 ] emphasised the importance of a systematic approach towards the design of the CPTs and have proposed a holistic but conceptual framework for the entire CPT life-cycle. In practice, however, many of the published research studies [ 4 , 6 , 17 , 18 , 19 ] that pertain to the design and development aspects of the CPTs have explicitly followed the Purdue enterprise reference architecture model (PERA) [ 20 ]. Özçelik et al [ 17 ] have also used defence in depth for securing the CPT in addition to using PERA for structuring their proposed testbed.…”

PERA is a framework for organizing ICSs into defined zones and levels, creating a structured hierarchy that distinguishes between operational and information technology systems.…”

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are vital in automating complex tasks across various sectors, yet they face significant vulnerabilities due to the rising threats of cybersecurity attacks. The recent surge in cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure (CI) and industrial control systems (ICSs), with a 150% increase in 2022 affecting over 150 industrial operations, underscores the urgent need for advanced cybersecurity strategies and education. To meet this requirement, we develop a specialised cyber-physical testbed (CPT) tailored for transportation CI, featuring a simplified yet effective automated level-crossing system. This hybrid CPT serves as a cost-effective, high-fidelity, and safe platform to facilitate cybersecurity education and research. High-fidelity networking and low-cost development are achieved by emulating the essential ICS components using single-board computers (SBC) and open-source solutions. The physical implementation of an automated level-crossing visualised the tangible consequences on real-world systems while emphasising their potential impact. The meticulous selection of sensors enhances the CPT, allowing for the demonstration of analogue transduction attacks on this physical implementation. Incorporating wireless access points into the CPT facilitates multi-user engagement and an infrared remote control streamlines the reinitialization effort and time after an attack. The SBCs overwhelm as traffic surges to 12 Mbps, demonstrating the consequences of denial-of-service attacks. Overall, the design offers a cost-effective, open-source, and modular solution that is simple to maintain, provides ample challenges for users, and supports future expansion.

Kritik Altyapılar Ulusal Test Yatağı Merkezi (CENTER) Enerji, eğitim, güvenlik araştırmaları, ulusal/uluslararası saldırı ve savunma çözümleri gibi konuları amaçlayan elektrik güç şebekesi için güvenli bir test yatağı altyapısıdır. Siber güvenlik alanında çalışacak yeni adaylara veya laboratuvarda eğitim alacak lisans/lisansüstü seviyesindeki öğrencilere geliştirilen test yatağında yer alan cihazların tanıtılması, kullanımı, olası sistemsel arıza ve siber saldırı senaryoların uygulanması gibi konularda eğitim verilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, CENTER Enerji’nin bir sanal gerçeklik uygulaması ile simüle edilmesini öneren bir tasarı sunulmaktadır. Böylece, çalışma ekibine katılacak olan yeni araştırmacıların ve laboratuvara eğitim amaçlı olarak alınacak öğrencilerin adı geçen eğitim sürecinde eş-zamanlı ve laboratuvar ortamından bağımsız olarak sanal ortamda ön eğitimden geçirilerek adaptasyon sürecinin hızlandırılması amaçlanmaktadır.
