Security of Cyber Physical Systems: Vulnerabilities, Attacks and Countermeasure

Recently, cyber physical system (CPS) has become one of the most useful computer systems used in critical infrastructure. The CPS has been effectively applied in many areas such as power systems, transportation, and robotics. The main focus of this paper is to review integrating the physical components with cyberspaces, avoiding some security issues, and ensuring system stability. In this review, we address what the CPS is, its architecture and why security is essential. This paper introduces some issues that result because of the integration. Also, this paper will be discussing some solutions that are used to enhance the security and protection of CPS, assessing the vulnerabilities in the CPS, detecting attacks to CPS and countermeasures.
