According to various embodiments, a method for detecting security vulnerabilities in at least one of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) and Internet of Things (IoT) devices is disclosed. The method includes constructing an attack directed acyclic graph (DAG) from a plurality of regular expressions, where each regular expression corresponds to control-data flow for a known CPS/IoT attack. The method further includes performing a linear search on the attack DAG to determine unexploited CPS/IoT attack vectors, where a path in the attack DAG that does not represent a known CPS/IoT attack vector represents an unexploited CPS/IoT attack vector. The method also includes applying a trained machine learning module to the attack DAG to predict new CPS/IoT vulnerability exploits. The method further includes constructing a defense DAG configured to protect against the known CPS/IoT attacks, the unexploited CPS/IoT attacks, and the new CPS/IoT vulnerability exploits.
