About this Course

Cyber-Physical Systems are a key component of modern digital transformation, connecting the physical world with digital systems. Through sensors, actuators, embedded systems, communication networks and intelligent control mechanisms, organisations can monitor, control and optimise devices, equipment, infrastructure and operational processes in real time, becoming more responsive and measurable.

At the same time, integrating CPS requires careful planning, since these systems depend on the secure interaction between physical devices, software, networks and data flows. This course addresses those challenges directly, preparing learners to understand what Cyber-Physical Systems are, how they integrate into operations and how they should be managed and secured throughout their lifecycle.

What You Will Learn

  • The definition, characteristics and core principles of Cyber-Physical Systems
  • The main components of CPS: sensors, actuators, embedded systems, control systems and communication networks
  • How physical and digital components interact to create intelligent operational capabilities
  • The role of IoT, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and real-time systems in CPS environments
  • Evaluating CPS applications in operations: automation, monitoring, control and data-driven decision-making
  • Planning CPS integration and the cybersecurity, risk management and governance requirements
