Cyber Attack Risk Estimation Technique in Intelligent Cyber Physical System for Pharmaceutical Care Services

A Cyber Physical System (CPS) is a hybrid of physical and cyber systems that are inextricably linked. It is widely employed in vital national infrastructure industries such as healthcare, electric power, transportation, petroleum, and chemical etc. If an attack on the CPS is successful, the consequences will be unthinkable in pharmaceutical care. A well-designed CPS risk assessment will offer an overall picture of CPS security status and will aid in the optimal deployment of safeguard resources in pharmaceutical care. Despite the numerous similarities between CPS and IT systems, they differ in many ways, most notably the demand for real-time. As a result, CPS cannot successfully utilize standard risk assessment techniques for IT systems. Creative ideas on CPS risk assessment are desperately needed. In this study a survey has been conducted for cyber risk estimation which can help in pharmaceutical care.
