description Abstract The convergence of data security and operational efficiency across various sectors, such as manufacturing, industry, logistics, agriculture, healthcare, and internet services, has been significantly enhanced using robotic-driven platforms and protocols. Notably, there has been a notable uptick in sophisticated cyberattacks targeting corporate and industrial robotic systems. These attacks are activated following the integration of the Internet of Things, the Internet, and organizational networks, as industrial units are interconnected. This study has formulated security-oriented criteria-based indicators for cyber-physical systems (CPS), encompassing industrial components and embedded sensors responsible for processing information logs and procedures. In this research, a robust security framework based on attack trees has been introduced, strategically focusing on addressing critical exploitable vulnerabilities rather than attempting to cover all CPS devices comprehensively. The systematic categorization of each physical device and its associated integrated sensors has been accomplished via data from logs and an information repository contained within a sensor index device library.
