About this ebook

This book provides profound insights into industrial control system resilience, exploring fundamental and advanced topics and including practical examples and scenarios to support the theoretical approaches. It examines issues related to the safe operation of control systems, risk analysis and assessment, use of attack graphs to evaluate the resiliency of control systems, preventive maintenance, and malware detection and analysis. The book also discusses sensor networks and Internet of Things devices. Moreover, it covers timely responses to malicious attacks and hazardous situations, helping readers select the best approaches to handle such unwanted situations. The book is essential reading for engineers, researchers, and specialists addressing security and safety issues related to the implementation of modern industrial control systems. It is also a valuable resource for students interested in this area.

He holds the position of Senior Lecturer since 2018, and he is teaching computer networking, software engineering, and human–computer interaction courses. He received his Ph.D. in Systems Engineering from Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti by defending in May 2017 the thesis “Research regarding the security of control systems”. His research interest is cybersecurity, focusing especially on industrial control systems security. Dr. Emil Pricop is the co-editor of the book Recent Advances in Systems Safety & Security (Springer, 2016) and the author or co-author of 2 national (Romanian) patents, 5 book chapters published in books edited by Springer, and over 30 papers in journals or international conferences. Dr. Pricop is the initiator and chairman of International Workshop on Systems Safety and Security – IWSSS.

Jaouhar Fattahi is currently with Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) at Valcartier Research Centre as a defence scientist. He is also an adjunct professor with Laval University, Quebec City, Canada. He received his Ph.D. on the security of cryptographic protocols from Laval University in October 2015. He did his postdoctoral internship in the Canadian Armed Forces Research Centre in the field of cybersecurity. He is a computer engineer since 1995 as well. Dr. Jaouhar Fattahi is the author of the theory of witness functions for verifying security inside cryptographic protocols. He now specializes in reverse engineering and machine and deep learning applied on security and cybersecurity. He is an IEEE member.
