CYRIN-OT: Advanced Cyber Range for Operational Technology Digital Twins

Industrial control system (ICS) operational technology (OT) systems enable increased process efficiency and cost savings.  At the same time, they allow for increasingly complex cyber-attacks with devastating physical impacts.  The ATC-NY team will design and build CYRIN-OT, a system for creating virtual “digital twins” of OT networks and performing security assessments on them.  Any divergence between the physical system and its twin can be a sign of compromise or failing equipment.  CYRIN-OT builds on ATC-NY’s successful CYRIN cyber range, in use by tens of thousands of users worldwide.  CYRIN’s graphical exercise builder will speed the creation of digital twins, while its automated monitoring system will be used for continuous performance evaluation of the twin.
