Why Cyber-Physical Systems Need Stronger Security

Cyber-physical systems underpin essential services such as energy, manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation. However, their growing complexity and connectivity make them prime targets for cyberattacks.

Traditional IT security approaches are often insufficient for CPS environments due to real-time constraints, safety implications, and legacy system integration. A successful attack can have consequences beyond data loss — impacting physical processes and human safety.

CyberUnite aims to bridge this gap by developing tailored security mechanisms that understand both the cyber and physical dimensions of these systems.
