A Method to Choose Between Automation and Human Operators for Recovery Actions During a Cyber Attack for Recovery Actions During a CyberAttack

Abstract

As complex systems such as nuclear power plants, naval ships, critical infrastructure, and other systems become more connected system increases. In many systems, recovery actions can prevent an incipient failure from causing a system-wide failure. This paper to the internet and digital control interfaces, the chance of a cyber attack causing physical damage to a system and failure of the presents a method of determining if a human operator or an automated system is more appropriate to complete a recovery action system increases. In many systems, recovery actions can prevent an incipient failure from causing a system-wide failure. This paper during a cyber attack. The method is useful during the conceptual phase of system design where architecture changes have minimal presents a method of determining if a human operator or an automated system is more appropriate to complete a recovery action impact on the cost and schedule of the system design effort. Practitioners can use the method to make cost and probability-informed during a cyber attack. The method is useful during the conceptual phase of system design where architecture changes have minimal decisions. A case study of a spent fuel cooling pool in a nuclear power plant is presented to illustrate the method. impact on the cost and schedule of the system design effort.
