Security Assessment: Leveraging Digital Twins
SAPNet is an advanced framework designed to create and manage Security Digital Twins for the IoT ecosystem. By utilising a specialised ontology toolkit, SAPNet allows the transformation of IoT processes into high-fidelity Stochastic Petri Net (SPN) models that act as virtual mirrors of physical infrastructure. The platform bridges the gap between design and operation through two core capabili?es: (a) Dynamic Vulnerability Synchronisation: a modeller-friendly interface that allows for the real-time composition and updating of the security vulnerabilities list of the digital twin to ensure that the latter accurately reflects the evolving threat landscape of its physical counterpart, and (b) Proactive Security Intelligence: SAPNet delivers fast, high-accuracy security metrics at any stage of the twin’s lifecycle. By simulating ‘what-if’ attack scenarios within the twin, SAPNet enables the modeller to validate the resilience of their twins before deployment, ensuring Security-by-Design in the digital transformation process.
