  Cyber-physical technologies are prone to attacks, in addition to faults and
failures. The issue of protecting cyber-physical systems should be tackled by
jointly addressing security at both cyber and physical domains, in order to
promptly detect and mitigate cyber-physical threats. Towards this end, this
letter proposes a new architecture combining control-theoretic solutions
together with programmable networking techniques to jointly handle crucial
threats to cyber-physical systems. The architecture paves the way for new
interesting techniques, research directions, and challenges which we discuss in
our work.
