A system and method for implementing a software emulation environment is provided. In one example, a mobile application can interface with an emulation environment that can be used to test whether the mobile application includes malware that can compromise the security and integrity of an enterprise's computing infrastructure. When the mobile application issues a call for data, a device mimic module can intercept the call and determine if the call includes a call for one or more checkable artifacts that can reveal the existence of the emulation environment. If such a call for data occurs, the device mimic module can provide one or more spoofed checkable artifacts that have been recorded from a real-world mobile device. In this way, the existence of the emulation environment can be concealed so as to allow for a more thorough analysis of a mobile application for potential hidden malware.

A system and method for systematically undertaking model-based security analysis of a cyber physical system (CPS) is provided. In one example, a cyber model simulation and a control system simulation are mapped using various methods to determine which portions of the cyber-model simulation and the control system simulation are correlated with one another. Using the determined correlation, when a cyber-attack is generated on the cyber model simulation, a corresponding attack hook can be generated for the control system model. The attack hook is configured to be integrated into the control system model so as to mimic the effect on the control system that a cyber-attack can engender. Once one or more attack hooks are generated, the user can place the hooks into the control system simulation schemas and run a series of simulations to determine the effects of a cyber event on the control system in a CPS.
