Claim Text:
1. A system comprising: a physical analysis module of hardware and software, the hardware including one or more sensors to detect a parameter corresponding to an operational or environmental state of a functional system to obtain physical diagnostic information describing at least one of the operational or environmental states of the functional system, and further determine physical analysis information using the physical diagnostic information; a cyber analysis module of hardware and software comprising a communication link to a networking portion of the functional system to obtain cyber security data, and to determines cyber analysis information using the cyber security data; a determination module of hardware and software that provides one or more models to identify a state of the functional system and an estimated life of the functional system, wherein the expected life is an expected secure life corresponding to a predicted time for which the functional system is expected to be secure from faults due to previous exposure to cyber attack, such that the determination module obtains the physical analysis information and the cyber analysis information, to determines a state of the functional system using the physical analysis information and the cyber analysis information, the state corresponding to at least one of physical condition or cyber security threat, and to identify if the state corresponds to one or more of a non-malicious condition or a malicious condition; and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium including memory; wherein the cyber analysis module is configured at a higher security level than the physical analysis module; and the one or more models is based on historical information corresponding to the physical diagnostic information and the cyber security data.
