Automatic Hybrid Attack Graph (AHAG) Generation for Complex Engineering Systems

Complex Engineering Systems are subject to cyber-attacks due to inherited vulnerabilities in the underlying entities constituting them. System Resiliency is determined by its ability to return to a normal state under attacks. In order to analyze the resiliency under various attacks compromising the...
