Abstract

Information systems are evolving: IoT devices and Cyber-physical systems (CPS) impact on the security of assets and people in the real world. Old cybersecurity approaches, which focused on seeing humans 'as a problem', could be substitute by new paradigms of seeing humans 'as a solution'. Therefore, consumers awareness will be one of the building blocks, as well as initiative that aim to create a set of standardized security metrics that can evaluate the security of systems. In order to do that, researchers need to study which are the essential factors that our future metrics should focus on. In this paper we analyzed this problem over CPS while assuming the consumer perspective. We summarize the state of the art in security metrics and advocate the need for a research effort aimed at taking the field to a new level of formal soundness and practical usability by considering interdisciplinary implications on cybersecurity.
