IMECA Based Assessment of Internet of Drones Systems Cyber Security Considering Radio Frequency Vulnerabilities

A cybersecurity model of a system for remote monitoring of critical infrastructure facilities based on the use of Internet of Drones (IoD), taking into account radio frequency cyber vulnerabilities, has been developed and discussed. The radio frequency vulnerabilities of infocommunication channels of such a system and possible methods of unauthorized intrusion using software-defined radio technology are analyzed. The consequences of such an invasion were assessed using the Intrusion Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis (IMECA) method. Result of the assessment is a risk matrix considering probability and severity of successful intrusions. It’s suggested recommendations of options to decrease risks of cyber failures of IoD systems.
