The deep integration between the cyber and physical domains in complex systems make very challenging the security evaluation process, as security itself is more of a concept (i.e. a subjective property) than a quantifiable characteristic. Traditional security assessing mostly relies on the personal skills of security experts, often based on best practices and personal experience.
The operations of many critical infrastructures (e.g., airports) heavily depend on proper functioning of the radio communication network supporting operations. As a result, such a communication network is indeed a mission-critical communication network that needs adequate protection from external electromagnetic interferences. This is usually done through radiogoniometers.

Industrial and Automation Control systems traditionally achieved security thanks to the use of proprietary protocols and isolation from the telecommunication networks. Nowadays, the advent of the Industrial Internet of Things poses new security challenges. In this paper, we first highlight the main security challenges that advocate for new risk assessment and security strategies. To this end, we propose a security framework and advanced tools to properly manage vulnerabilities, and to timely react to the threats.
