Socio-Technical Security Modelling: Analysis of State-of-the-Art, Application, and Maturity in Critical Industrial Infrastructure Environments/Domains (2305.05108v1)

Abstract: This study explores the state-of-the-art, application, and maturity of socio-technical security models for industries and sectors dependent on CI and investigates the gap between academic research and industry practices concerning the modelling of both the social and technical aspects of security. Systematic study and critical analysis of literature show that a steady and growing on socio-technical security M&S approaches is emerging, possibly prompted by the growing recognition that digital systems and workplaces do not only comprise technologies, but also social (human) and sometimes physical elements.
