Deception is rapidly growing as an important tool for cyber defence, complementing existing perimeter security measures to rapidly detect breaches and data theft. One of the factors limiting the use of deception has been the cost of generating realistic artefacts by hand. Recent advances in Machine Learning have, however, created opportunities for scalable, automated generation of realistic deceptions. This vision paper describes the opportunities and challenges involved in developing models to mimic many common elements of the IT stack for deception effects.

“…DTs can play a significant role in enhancing cybersecurity, because they allow us to simulate risks in a virtual environment of IoT-based applications that exactly mirror their real systems [13]. There are three key elements for developing the strategic process for enhancing cybersecurity in DT technology for healthcare applications, as shown in Fig.…”

In recent years, the cybersecurity attacks on the internet of things (IoT)-based healthcare systems became the major concern for researchers and health organizations. With time, the sophistication of these attacks is increasing. Therefore, healthcare service providers must implement efficient security mechanisms carefully while taking the advantages of connected devices without compromising the patient safety and disturbing the real-time health services. A digital twin (DT) is a virtual representation of a real-time counterpart of a physical world. DT offers significant advantages to cybersecurity experts, empowering them to predict risks without entering the physical world, and to simulate and test cyber-attacks that would otherwise be infeasible to do in real-time in the physical environment. DT in healthcare helps to identify security vulnerabilities, conduct attack simulations, and potential security breaches by creating a virtual replica of the targeted healthcare systems. In this paper, a novel and automated conceptual framework is developed for reinforcing the cybersecurity in IoT-based healthcare using DT technology. It includes the conceptualization and analysis of the proposed framework which can provide dynamic and adaptive security solution to identify real-time threats and vulnerabilities in IoTbased healthcare applications.

“…DTs are typically adopted to improve the performance of physical entities by leveraging computational power and techniques and by using a virtual counterpart [ 24 ]. Within the Industry 4.0 ecosystem, DT offers an agile, smart, and cost-effective environment that enhances the systems’ productivity [ 25 ]. The origin of DTs is attributed to Michael Grieves and the work developed with John Vickers of NASA in 2003 [ 26 ].…”

The use of automation, Internet-of-Things (IoT), and smart technologies is being rapidly introduced into the development of agriculture. Technologies such as sensing, remote monitoring, and predictive tools have been used with the purpose of enhancing agriculture processes, aquaponics among them, and improving the quality of the products. Digital twinning enables the testing and implementing of improvements in the physical component through the implementation of computational tools in a ‘twin’ virtual environment. This paper presents a framework for the development of a digital twin for an aquaponic system. This framework is validated by developing a digital twin for the grow beds of an aquaponics system for real-time monitoring parameters, namely pH, electroconductivity, water temperature, relative humidity, air temperature, and light intensity, and supports the use of artificial intelligent techniques to, for example, predict the growth rate and fresh weight of the growing crops. The digital twin presented is based on IoT technology, databases, a centralized control of the system, and a virtual interface that allows users to have feedback control of the system while visualizing the state of the aquaponic system in real time.
