Abstract

Industrial internet-of-things (IIoT) technologies spark growing interest in manufacturing security and resilience. However, current solutions lack a holistic understanding of cyber-physical resilience in complex systems, failing to connect IIoT network vulnerabilities with dynamic manufacturing processes for effective detection and control. To address these gaps, this Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) project aims to develop novel methodologies that integrate modeling, detection, and control measures for understanding the cyber-physical resilience of continuous critical manufacturing systems. This study will work to eliminate barriers to the development of new policies, regulations, and standards for IIoT applications in manufacturing. In collaboration with industry stakeholders, this project promises long-term benefits by extending its methods and tools to other critical infrastructures, thereby enhancing national cyber-physical resilience. Meanwhile, the education and outreach activities in this project foster sustained awareness of cyber-physical resilience among both future and current manufacturing professionals. Introducing new courses and training materials enhances students' exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies and improves their data science and cybersecurity skills. K-12 outreach initiatives boost understanding of IIoT and cyber-physical resilience, promoting manufacturing careers. A specially designed training software addresses the need for int
