Abstract

With the rapid development of Industry 4.0, Cyber-Physical System (CPS) has promoted the deep integration of the physical world and cyberspace. The close combination of virtual cyberspace and real physical space has not only brought great opportunities but also great challenges to the development of the industrial Internet. Attackers can attack cyberspace through physical space, or attack physical space through cyberspace, and cause a cascading failure. Given this target attack on the cyber-physical fusion system, how to evaluate and prevent it becomes very important. Firstly, this paper analyzes and models the CPS with different proportions of links. Then, we use the percolation theory to analyze the cascade failure process progressively and obtain the critical threshold of network collapse. Finally, we further validate the correctness of the theoretical value through simulation case study and construe the parameters impacting the system’s reliability. The experimental results show that the network presents a first-order phase transition near the critical value. The power-law exponent of SF network has little effect on system reliability.
