Modelling Cyber-Physical Security in Healthcare Systems

Health organizations are critical cyber-physical infrastructures. By relying on last technological advances, healthcare organizations are now able to provide more personalized services through open and controlled platforms. Unfortunately, these new technologies that rely on common communication interfaces and standards, enhance security breaches and exposes hospitals to several threats.

The paper presents an ontology that allows (1) modelling cyber-physical security concepts in healthcare systems and (2) helps designing incidents propagation mechanisms by focusing on cyber-physical interactions among critical assets.
