Cyber Physical Systems

“Internet of Things (IoT) has given rise to the fourth industrial revolution (Industrie 4.0), and it brings great benefits by connecting people, processes and data. However, cybersecurity has become a critical challenge in the IoT enabled cyber physical systems, from connected supply chain, Big Data produced by huge amount of IoT devices, to industry control systems” (He et al., 2016).

For this assignment, you are required to discuss two (2) security challenges in modern cyber-physical systems in detail. Research the literature for existing technology that could contribute in cybercrime detection and prevention in cyber physical systems. This comprises both evolutionary computation and other computational intelligence technology.

Summarize two (2) security challenges to modern cyber-physical systems.

  • Explain the role of evolutionary computation, and other computational intelligence technologies, in cyber-physical systems and cybercrime detection and prevention.
  • Support your rationale with at least two (2) references (articles or videos) to provide a rationale for the summary and explanation.
