This research initiative focuses on developing an AI -driven framework to analyze cybersecurity vulnerabilities, identify potential threats, and predict risks in manufacturing environments. The goal of the proposed project is to harness AI to model the complex interconnections between vulnerabilities and weaknesses; formalize the consequences of these connections on potential attack scenarios; utilize discovered insights to forecast risks; and formulate vulnerability and risk mitigation strategies. *Intellectual Property: Intellectual Property Management Plan will be required if awarded.
