Digital Twins: Benefits and the Cybersecurity Risks They Bring

 

Digital twins—virtual digital counterparts of physical objects, people, or processes—are rapidly being adopted by organizations as tools for simulation, testing, and decision-making. The concept traces its roots to NASA’s physical replicas of spacecraft in the 1960s, but today’s digital twins have evolved into sophisticated frameworks that bridge physical and digital systems, offering the power to predict real-world outcomes and inform business strategy. 

David Shaw, Intuitus Corp. CEO and Digital Twin Consortium (DTC) working group co-chair, notes that these systems now do much more than simply mirror physical systems; they actively link both worlds, enabling predictive analytics at scale. 

Greg Porter, Principal Solutions Architect at Sev1Tech, describes digital twin technology as still emerging, but increasingly central to business innovation. Their key advantage lies in the ability to simulate future scenarios and outcomes without disrupting the actual physical assets, allowing companies to test changes, interventions, or potential failures in a risk-free environment.
