Analysis of Security Requirements for Digital Twin Deployments

A Digital Twin simulation model is a powerful model for implementing predictive failure analysis of industrial equipment. The unique machine learning software and computational demands of a modern digital twin simulation for complex machines typically require a cloud hosted model. This presents a challenge for critical infrastructure operators who are concerned about protecting their operations technology (OT) network from cybersecurity threats. This talk will look at the unique data flows and special security properties of a digital twin deployment for industrial equipment. The resulting model will be used to suggest a set of recommended best practices for an integrated, defense-in-depth strategy security strategy.
