“…Lack of reliable communications may result in greater loss of life, as rescuers cannot coordinate effectively and the public is not warned in a timely manner. In [71], Walker has suggested that the EM community would most likely be incapable of an effective response to a terrorist attack on a major metropolitan area if a cyber attack had previously crippled the communication and data networks on which EM relies. However, it is not only the availability of communications that needs to be maintained.…”

“…EMIS need to ensure the interoperability of all the functions they support [71], which implies the use of an inherent trust model within them [104]. Yet, EMIS typically consist of a combination of purpose-built and commercial off-the-shelf communication mechanisms and software, such as document readers, multimedia players and of course the operating system itself, each with their own and often well-known security flaws that make them vulnerable to malware and exploits.…”

A Review of Cyber Threats and Defence Approaches in Emergency Management

Emergency planners, first responders and relief workers increasingly rely on computational and communication systems that support all aspects of emergency management, from mitigation and preparedness to response and recovery. Failure of these systems, whether accidental or because of malicious action, can have severe implications for emergency management. Accidental failures have been extensively documented in the past and significant effort has been put into the development and introduction of more resilient technologies. At the same time researchers have been raising concerns about the potential of cyber attacks to cause physical disasters or to maximise the impact of one by intentionally impeding the work of the emergency services. Here, we provide a review of current research on the cyber threats to communication, sensing, information management and vehicular technologies used in emergency management. We emphasise on open issues for research, which are the cyber threats that have the potential to affect emergency management severely and for which solutions have not yet been proposed in the literature.

“…The topic has, in result, become a key issue for debate in many governments and in growing frequency by chief executive officers (CEO) of global corporations [29], [30], as well as, being at the forefront of many news articles. In the early months of 2013, the USA defence secretary Leon Panetta highlighted the risk cyber-attacks could have on a nation, comparing the potential impact of a successful attack to that of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 [31].…”

“…The common sector is oil and gas, the power grid manufacturing, defense and public infrastructures are fully relying on the advancement of CPS. Therefore, cyber-physical systems security has become a matter for societal, infrastructures and economic to every country in the world due to the tremendous number of electronic devices that are interconnected via networks communication [2]- [4]. Latest reports have shown that cyber-attacks are aimed to destroy nation"s systems that used for country development.…”

Abstract-Cyber-Physical Systems refer to systems that have an interaction between computers, communication channels and physical devices to solve a real-world problem. Towards industry 4.0 revolution, Cyber-Physical Systems currently become one of the main targets of hackers and any damage to them lead to high losses to a nation. According to valid resources, several cases reported involved security breaches on Cyber-Physical Systems. Understanding fundamental and theoretical concept of security in the digital world was discussed worldwide. Yet, security cases in regard to the cyber-physical system are still remaining less explored. In addition, limited tools were introduced to overcome security problems in Cyber-Physical System. To improve understanding and introduce a lot more security solutions for the cyber-physical system, the study on this matter is highly on demand. In this paper, we investigate the current threats on Cyber-Physical Systems and propose a classification and matrix for these threats, and conduct a simple statistical analysis of the collected data using a quantitative approach. We confirmed four components i.e., (the type of attack, impact, intention and incident categories) main contributor to threat taxonomy of Cyber-Physical Systems.
