Industrial control applications are today software defined and networked, making them even more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Hence there is the need to investigate new solutions that are secure by design. In this paper, we propose a self-protecting architecture for a control application suitable for Industrial Internet-of-Things deployments. The proposed solution, by using redundancy, is capable of self-detecting cyberattacks to its logic and to autonomously activate mitigation actions.

Industrial control applications are today software defined and networked making them even more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Hence there is the need to investigate new solutions that are secure by design. In this paper, we address this challenge
by proposing a model and an architecture for a controller that, by using redundancy, is capable of detecting cyber-attacks to
its logic and that enables the implementation of mitigation and prevention mechanisms.
