ECSO technical paper explores the definition of Digital Twin, its limitations and technical dependencies. The publication presents opportunities and challenges encountered and serves as a comprehensive source of knowledge on the disruptive technology.

Four different use cases are covered on the applications of DTs across a broad variety of sectors:
– businesses
– education and skills
– collaborative industries
– industrial cybersecurity

Two crucial aspects are examined: the simulation capabilities of DTs as a resource for cybersecurity solutions, and the virtualization of DTs as a one-stop laboratory to develop, validate and test security approaches to lead mitigation and preventive actions.

ECSO technical paper outlines the current state of the technology and provides a set of recommendations to assist various stakeholders in governing the intricate and dynamic nature of DTs.
