The cybersecurity modeling in critical infrastructures

H. Kravtsov, I. Kotsiuba, I. Prytulyuk

ABSTRACT

The attempt to systematize modern approaches to mathematical modeling of cybersecurity of critical infrastructures was made as based on a survey of open publication argueing that modern modeling and simulation are unable to handle the complexity and inter-connectedness of such critical infrastructures as smart grid.

KEYWORDS

critical infrastructure, cybersecurity, smart grid, vulnerability, mathematical framework, mathematical model, agent-based simulation, game theory, algebraical approach.
