SoK: A Holistic View of Cyberattacks Prediction with Digital Twins

Digital Twins (DTs) are a relatively new technology that has the potential to transform entire fields such as construction, health, and every field one can imagine, including cybersecurity. DTs represent a cutting-edge solution to mitigate cyber risks as they can accurately emulate hardware, software, and firmware. By collecting and providing data, they allow realtime monitoring, analysis, and emulation. This paper digs into the current practices followed to predict cyberattacks, it then explores the fundamental principles of digital twins and their current common uses in the industry. Finally, it examines how digital twins can be employed to enhance the organisation's overall cybersecurity maturity level.
