Abstract

Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure such as power plants, dams, and chemical facilities are increasing in both intensity and sophistication, with attackers actively exploiting the cultural divide between the engineers who design and run these facilities and the cybersecurity people who protect them. At Rose-Hulman, we are building a multidisciplinary Critical Infrastructure Laboratory to bring these groups together with the goal of educating the next generation on the difficulties of designing and securing facilities vital to our national and economic security.
