A cyber-physical system may have a plurality of system nodes including a plurality of monitoring nodes each generating a series of current monitoring node values over time that represent current operation of the cyber-physical system. According to some embodiments, a watermarking computer platform may randomly inject a watermarking signal into an injection subset of the system nodes. The watermarking computer platform may then receive current monitoring node values over time and generate a current watermarking feature vector based on the current monitoring node values. The watermarking computer platform might comprise a dedicated watermarking abnormality detection platform or a unified abnormality detection platform (e.g., that also uses data-drive feature vectors). The injection subset may be associated with a randomly selected subset of the system nodes and/or magnitudes of watermarking signals that are randomly selected.
