Digital Twin Security: Protecting Virtual Replicas of Physical Assets ສຳລັບວິສາຫະກິດລາວ

Digital twins mirror physical assets digitally. Security risks when virtual models can influence real-world operations. Guidance for LA market.

Digital twins — virtual replicas of physical assets, processes, or systems — create a bridge between digital and physical worlds. If an attacker compromises a digital twin that influences real-world operations, the consequences extend beyond data theft to physical impact. Security testing covers: authentication and access control for twin management, data integrity between physical sensors and virtual model, API security for twin data access, manipulation detection (can an attacker alter the twin to cause incorrect real-world decisions?), and network segmentation between twin platforms and operational systems.
