In an era where society becomes increasingly reliant on digital technology and interconnected systems, the significance of cybersecurity for upholding sustainable development has become paramount. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030, people enjoy peace and prosperity. As we draw closer to the critical year of 2030, the insights of this paper gain urgency in light of ongoing efforts to achieve the SDGs. This review paper takes an innovative stance by examining how cybersecurity challenges align with each SDG. The novelty of this study is that, it not only highlights the interconnected nature of cybersecurity within each goal but also identifies and categorizes the top five emerging threats that could impact the 17 goals. By pinpointing potential risks, it calls for further research and strategies to counter these cyber threats that might hinder the progress towards the SDGs. This research work serves as valuable guidance for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, offering a comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between cybersecurity and sustainable development.

“…Threats are present in almost all components of the DT-ITS structure, and attackers can exploit vulnerabilities in physical systems, data structures, software, and data communication channels. Given such a scenario, Karaarslan and Babiker [135] analyzed the main threats for DT-based solutions and summarized the main countermeasures to be adopted to mitigate vulnerabilities in the different modules of DT systems. Among the main countermeasures, blockchain-based DTs have been increasingly adopted to protect data models and data exchange between components of the DT system [136], even in ITS solutions.…”

“…Few researchers have recently focused on the security aspects of DT. For instance, the authors in [27] and [28] discussed the security threats faced by a DT and proposed relevant countermeasures that can be employed to mitigate these threats. Al-Ali et al [29] proposed a six-layer end-to-end conceptual model consisting of a physical space layer, a communication network layer, a virtual space layer, and an application layer.…”

Security Analysis of a Digital Twin Framework Using Probabilistic Model Checking

Digital Twins (DTs) have been gaining popularity in various applications, such as smart manufacturing, smart energy, smart mobility, and smart healthcare. In simple terms, DT is described as a virtual replica of a given physical product, system, or process. It consists of three major segments: the physical entity, its virtual counterpart, and the connections between them. While the data is collected from a physical entity, processed at the virtual layer, and accessed in the form of a DT at the application layer, it is exposed to several security risks. To ensure the applicability of a DT system, it is imperative to understand these security risks and their implications. However, there is a lack of a framework that can be used to assess the security of a DT. This paper presents a framework in which the security of a DT can be analyzed with the help of a formal verification technique. The framework captures the defense of the system at different layers and considers various attacks at each layer. The security of the DT system is represented as a statetransition system and the security properties are captured in temporal logic. Probabilistic model checking (PMC) is used to verify the systems against these properties. In particular, the framework is used to analyze the probability of success and the cost of various potential attacks that can occur at each layer in a DT system. The applicability of the proposed framework is demonstrated with the help of a detailed case study in the healthcare domain.INDEX TERMS Digital twin security, security analysis, probabilistic model checking, Markov decision process, discrete time Markov chain.
