Abstract
Cyber-physical attacks against plants and Critical Infrastructures (CIs) are among the most significant concerns in the 21st century and can lead to devastating consequences. In particular, with the convergence between the Operational Technology (OT) network and the traditional IT network, malware threats for Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) are gradually increasing. In these scenarios, we need to identify potential cyber threats by developing innovative modeling techniques. However, existing malware-based cyber threats modeling techniques are not fully designed for industrial environment.
