Towards a Resilience-Theoretic Foundation for Adversarial Robustness in Industrial Control System Anomaly Detection
Read the original on arXiv AI →The paper argues that adversarial robustness of anomaly detectors in industrial control systems (ICS) is a specific form of system resilience. It maps resilience concepts—disturbance class, absorption capacity, recovery trajectory, and degradation function—to adversarial machine learning, deriving a compositional resilience bound that identifies the coupling‑adjusted absorption capacity of nodes along an attack path as the key constraint. Empirical tests on the BATADAL water distribution benchmark reveal operationally significant effects, such as absorption‑degradation divergence under adversarial training and a paradox where hardening the most vulnerable node alone can reduce overall resilience.
