Securing the systems that move valves, breakers and machines
When control systems are attacked the consequences are physical: a breaker opens, a pump stops, a process runs out of its safe envelope.

Twin figures for West Cornwall: Goonhilly and the Porthcurno cable landings, counted from its layers at their stated dates.
For Operational technology and cyber-physical security: the faculty's twin of the Lizard and Penwith on the planet map, the globe and in 3D. Pick a generator, switch layers, run the instruments; every layer prints its provider and date.
Drag to move, right drag or Shift with a drag to turn and tilt, Ctrl with the wheel to zoom. Keyboard: arrows move, Shift with arrows turn and tilt, + and - zoom, 0 resets, V steps through the views, Escape clears.
Flat plan of the same data: relief as contours from the inline grid, the mapped ground infrastructure by kind, the mapped cables and the numbers below. The 3D twin opens on devices with WebGL once its data and library have been checked.
The map loads from this site as it nears the view (MapLibre 6.9.1, checked by hash).
The discipline teaches industrial control systems and SCADA, the IEC 62443 series with its zones, conduits and security levels, the co-engineering of safety and security beside IEC 61508, network segmentation, vulnerability management where patching is slow, the industrial internet of things, and incident response in plants and utilities, with the attacks on Ukrainian grids in 2015 and 2016 as reference cases. NIS2 and the EU Cyber Resilience Act set the current duties for operators and manufacturers. A graduate can zone a control network, assess a component against a security level and plan a response that keeps the process safe.
This area covers the security of systems that control physical processes: industrial control systems, SCADA, building and medical devices, vehicles and the industrial internet of things. It is taught in the department of Cyber, Digital and Space Systems, Faculty of Technology and Digital Systems, through courses still to be authored.
9 subtopics, taught across its courses and labs.
News and research as they are published, per discipline, with the faculty's other tools.
