Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes: monitoring, by a computing device, communication flows within an industrial processing system; identifying, by the computing device, a hazardous command based on monitoring the communication flows, wherein identifying the hazardous command includes running a simulation with the communication flows as an input to the simulation; generating, by the computing device, a set of one or more mitigating commands based on identifying the hazardous command; and outputting, by the computing device, the set of one or more mitigating commands to components within the industrial processing system, wherein outputting the set of the one or more mitigating commands reduces a level of hazard caused by the hazardous command.
