Security of Critical Cyber Physical Systems: A C3i Hub Perspective C3i Hub is a technology innovation hub funded by the Department of Science of Technology, Government of India -- with the charter for research, training, innovation and incubation in the field of cyber physical systems security. Examples of Critical Cyber Physical systems include the power grid, transportation automation, factory automation, water and sewage plants, oil and gas pipelines etc. Due to increased cyber threats from nation state actors and terrorist groups and various incidents around the world, security of these cyber physical systems are of particular importance. C3i Hub has been working on this frontier aspect of cyber security research, providing training and incubating startups so as to create indigenous innovation, and industry in the field of cyber security of cyber physical systems. In this talk, we will discuss the critical cyber physical system security in general and then discuss the activities of C3i Hub towards indigenous cyber security ecosystem development in this field.
