Abstract :
Stealing secrets from a smartphone, damaging a nuclear reactor and bringing down a power grid are disasters easily within the reach of today´s cyber attackers. A mobile phone, a car, a nuclear reactor, a missile, a power grid, in fact anything that contains sophisticated software can be a target for these attacks. Catastrophe is all but inevitable if cyber security measures fail to match the sophistication of saboteurs.
