Information security can be efficiently provided by the sound structured information and a set of specialized experts in the field of IT and CPS. The interconnection among the systems in the CPS imposes a new challenge in providing security to CPS. A concise study of CPS security is given in this chapter. The problem of secure control systems is also indentified and defined. The way the information security and control theory guards the system is explored. The security of CPSs can be enhanced using a particular set of challenges, which are also described later in this chapter. The resistance to malicious events is strengthening as cyber physical systems are part of critical structures. The CPSs are time sensitive in nature, unlike the distributed system where a little amount of delay is acceptable.

With the emergence of distributed energy resources (DERs), with their associated communication and control complexities, there is a need for an efficient platform that can digest all the incoming data and ensure the reliable operation of the power system. The digital twin (DT) is a new concept that can unleash tremendous opportunities and can be used at the different control and security levels of power systems. This paper provides a methodology for the modelling of the implementation of energy cyber-physical systems (ECPSs) that can be used for multiple applications. Two DT types are introduced to cover the high-bandwidth and the low-bandwidth applications that need centric oversight decision making. The concept of the digital twin is validated and tested using Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a cloud host that can incorporate physical and data models as well as being able to receive live measurements from the different actual power and control entities. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the real-time implementation of the DT for the ECPS based on internet of things (IoT) and cloud computing technologies. The normalized mean-square error for the low-bandwidth DT case was 3.7%. In the case of a high-bandwidth DT, the proposed method showed superior performance in reconstructing the voltage estimates, with 98.2% accuracy from only the controllers’ states.

In the context of latest technological revolution, Industry 4.0, connectivity and therefore access and control of cyber-physical systems and resources from any place, at any time by any means represent a technological enabler of crucial importance. The first part of this paperwork contains a brief introduction of cyber-physical systems and IoT concepts, together with a review of major IoT providers. The second part introduces an approach towards achieving connectivity and remote control of task selection for a dual-arm industrial robot using a commercially available IoT infrastructure and technology provided by ioBridge. Within the third part, details about experimental testing and evaluation of the selected solutions are presented. The last part is allocated for conclusions and further research directions.
