Due to the nature of cyber-physical systems, incidents can quickly lead to physical harm to people, destruction of property or environmental disasters.

The funcion of CPSs. CPSs are defined as systems that are engineered to orchestrate sensing, computation, control, networking and analytics to interact with the physical world.

They underpin all connected IT, operational technology and Internet of Things efforts where security considerations span both the cyber and physical worlds, such as asset-intensive, critical infrastructure and clinical healthcare environments.

"The more connected CPSs are, the higher the likelihood of an incident occurring."

With OT, smart buildings, smart cities, connected cars and autonomous vehicles evolving, incidents in the digital world will have a much greater effect in the physical world as risks, threats and vulnerabilities now exist in a bidirectional, cyber-physical spectrum.
