A Deception Readiness Index for ICS and OT Cybersecurity Programs

The paper proposes a Deception Readiness Index (DRI) for ICS and OT cybersecurity programs. Using design science and qualitative analysis of public standards and guidance, it scores readiness across governance, architecture, monitoring, workforce, and operational safety domains, and applies the index to three synthetic critical-infrastructure profiles to identify gaps before deployment.
