Problem

Flexible Industry 4.0 systems need to preserve operational adaptability while controlling risk from untrusted assets and variable workflows.

Context

Research at the University of Southern Denmark on cyber-physical production-line demonstrators.

Method

Modeled CPS behavior and security controls with statistical model checking and strategy-oriented verification.

Result

The work connected model-checking techniques with energy-aware and security-aware CPS optimization questions.

Why It Matters

Industrial CPS security must be reasoned about without removing the flexibility that makes these systems useful.
