报告摘要：The trend in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) design prioritizes the integration of enterprise Information Technologies (IT) networks with Operational Technologies (OT) and Platform Technology (PT) systems. This integration offers advantages but exposes CPS assets to cyber vulnerabilities. Our goal is to develop innovative research tools for Automated Vulnerability Assessment, System Monitoring, and Network Discovery, focusing on secure integration into OT/PT systems to protect CPS assets. We offer an end-to-end solution based on fine-tuned IT security and a system theoretic-based Diagnosis and Health Monitoring (DHM) framework. We consider the physical, communication, and application layers of CPS assets, addressing single and networked operations. We have developed a unified cybersecurity framework using a cyber-physical kill chain model tailored to CPS assets for vulnerability analysis, risk assessment, and remediation recommendation solutions.

报告人介绍：Dr. Khorasani received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1981, 1982 and 1985, respectively. From 1985 to 1988 he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan at Dearborn and since 1988 he has been at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, where he is currently a Professor and Concordia University Tier I Research Chair in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Concordia Institute for Aerospace Design and Innovation (CIADI). His main areas of research are in nonlinear and adaptive control; cyber-physical systems and cybersecurity; intelligent and autonomous control of networked unmanned systems; fault diagnosis, isolation and recovery (FDIR); diagnosis, prognosis, and health management (DPHM); satellites, and neural networks/machine learning. He has authored/co-authored over 500 publications in these areas that have also led to the training of over 135 highly qualified personnel. He has served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems.
