Abstract
A system and method is provided that facilitates cyber-physical security. The system may comprise a controller including at least one first processor; a monitor system including at least one second processor; and a plurality of sensors configured to capture a plurality of measurements associated with at least one hardware component. The sensors may include both: at least one controller sensor that communicates with the controller; and at least one side-channel sensor that communicates with the monitor system and not with the at least one controller. The first processor of the controller may be configured to cause the controller to control the hardware component based at least in part on measurements from the controller sensor. The second processor of the monitor system may be configured to: receive the measurements from the sensors; determine whether the measurements are indicative of a possible cyberattack on the at least one hardware component; and generate at least one notification indicating a possible cyberattack based on the determination that the measurements are indicative of a possible cyberattack.
