Engineering cyber-physical systems for operational resilience is a major challenge. One example is automotive systems, where traditional functional safety and cybersecurity fall short, along with the need for a dynamic safety case. Such systems are also increasingly data-driven, integrating degrees of autonomy, and have a complex supply chain. The ENCYRCLE [https://www.swansea.ac.uk/compsci/research-and-impact/encyrcle/] initiative aims to address this very problem by studying through-life system resilience models integrating safety, security, and liveness. Our focus is on methodology and tool chains to add safety (physical), operational, privacy and financial risks for such systems. This talk will motivate the problem and present early insights into this research, along with exploring opportunities for wider collaboration and engagement. 

The Terrorism Risk Assessment, Modelling and Mitigation Seminar Series (TRAMMSS) is a virtual seminar series focused on technical topics related to terrorism risk assessment, and modelling, including blast modelling and response; IEDs; vehicles as weapons; CBRN; big data for risk assessment, security and screening; and associated mitigation measures.

 

Speakers

Prof Siraj Shaikh is a Professor in Systems Security at Swansea University, where his research interests sit at the interface of automotive cybersecurity, systems engineering and cyber-physical systems security. Siraj is a Certified Automotive Cyber-Security Professional, SGS-TÜV (2022), relating to ISO/SAE 21434 standard: extensive knowledge of its content; extensive experience of the interpretation of its requirements, its recommendations and its permissions; and extensive technical understanding of the methodology to implement its requirements. Siraj is well published in cyber-physical systems security, and is a Member of the College of Experts part of the UK’s Department for Transport (DfT) Scientific Advisory Council (SAC). Previously, he has been an Industrial Fellow to HORIBA MIRA, funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng). More recently he served as an Independent Scientific Adviser to The Alan Turing Institute under the BridgeAI initiative. He has also served as a RITICS Fellow on Economics of CNI Security at Imperial College (UK).
