### What is the future of control?
- Digital controllers (computers)
- Can be more efficient, more involved control solutions
- Can easily update
- Can easily update systems as components age and wear to ensure optimality.
- Can easily update to new technology in pieces or in whole system
- Remote monitoring is a thing
- Security is much more complex than restricting access. Instead, cyberattacks are a whole new frontier of vulnerabilities
## Cybersecurity Threats to Digital Control Systems
- Cybersecurity threats on digital control systems happen all the time and are a big deal.
- talk about what cyberphysical systems are
- CPS is important because a cyber attack on a cps translates digital harm into physical consequences.
- On less critical systems this has been an issue.
- German Steel Mill was an attack that caused severe financial losses to a german steel mill and blew open a blast furnace
- What about nuclear? As far as we know no attacks on NPP but there has been cyberattacks in the nuclear industry.
- Stuxnet was specifically designed to target Iran's nuclear enrichment program, and destroyed a lot of their progress.
- Their control systems weren't iranian made however, they're industry standard. (CHECK!)
- Digital control systems introduce vulnerbailities by their nature because they can carry vulnerabilities that are not easily traceable from the supply chain too.
- Pager attack is a supply chain example. How can you check code correctness?
## Regulatory Challenges in Digital Systems
Measuring protection is extremely difficult
- Huge problem with digital control systems. You really can't know because the onus of cybersecurity right now is on the user (THIS IS CITEABLE)
- This is a push for regulators to instead put the blame of vulnerability removal onto the manufacturers.
- This is one thing that has to happen
## Strategies for Robustness to Cyberattacks
## Conclusion
