"Office of Naval Research Awards $4.7M for Cyber-Physical Security and Resilience"
Four engineering professors at the University of Rhode Island have received a $4.7 million grant from the Office of Naval Research to improve the security and resilience of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled power grids, secure manufacturing environments, and more. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), such as power grids and manufacturing systems, are critical infrastructures. Security and resilience are critical to CPS because of the risks posed by the interconnectedness of the cyber and physical worlds, the increase in automation, and the use of AI. Protecting these systems calls for a multi-layered approach to defense, including preventive measures, anomaly detection, and self-healing. This article continues to discuss the project "Advancing Research on Cyber-Physical Security and Resilience: A Multifaceted Approach."
