Abstract

Cyber physical systems (CPS) known as a class of automated systems working as a life line of smart cities such as home automation system, power grid, automotive industry, etc. The security aspects of these systems are at high demand as these systems are involved in day to day life of people and national economy. The compromised CPS can harm day to day operations of people. CPS systems are complex in design and more prone to cyber-attacks. In this study, the safety and security deficiencies at different levels of CPS are analyzed and discussed. The systematic survey of safety and security loopholes presented in current study. In addition, this paper describes risk factors for security and techniques which can be implemented to mitigate risks. This paper also elaborated the related work done by researchers and new research focus in this area.
