Abstract

This paper explores how reliability analysis and cyber-security analysis can be combined using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), and Large Language Models (LLM) to produce a continuously updated resilience analysis. This is achieved by modeling both the hardware and software of the system, and employing LLMs and AI/ML to continuously search for new software vulnerabilities and feed that information into continuously updating resilience models. A case study of a drone is presented that demonstrates the promise of the proposed method. It is expected that using the proposed method, named Assessment for Risk in Cybersecurity and Safety - Resilience (ARCS-R), will reduce failure rate of mission-critical cyber-physical systems by reducing the likelihood of a potential initiating event causing a prolonged degradation in system performance that impacts system resilience.
