Physical Security

Physical security research focuses on protecting critical infrastructure and systems from physical threats and cyber-physical attacks, aiming to enhance safety and reliability. Current research emphasizes developing robust anomaly detection methods, such as quantum-hybrid support vector machines and cross-layered data-driven frameworks, to identify malicious activities in real-time across diverse systems, including smart grids and UAVs. These advancements leverage simulation frameworks and multi-agent systems for testing and deploying security solutions, improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of physical security measures in various settings. The impact of this research is significant, leading to improved safety and resilience in critical infrastructure and informing the development of more effective security protocols and technologies.
