The cyber physical system safety and security is one of the important and potential research directions recent days. Ongoing advances in science and engineering is going to improve the link between computational and physical elements by means of intelligent mechanisms, dramatically increasing the adaptability, autonomy, efficiency, functionality, reliability, safety, and usability of cyber-physical systems. The transformation of physical systems into cyber-physical systems (CPS) by imbibing them with intelligence is an ongoing process that can substantially benefit the society and the environment by improving comfort, convenience and quality of life of the people, while reducing consumption of natural resources and reducing environmental footprint. Examples of cyber physical systems are Smart Grid Networks, Smart Transportation System, Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure, Utility Service Infrastructure for Smart Cities, etc. But, the inherent dangers in this transformation are: it allows flexible control and resource use; provides conduits for information leakage; prone to misconfigurations and deliberate attacks by outsiders and insiders. In this paper we discuss the state of art of cyber physical systems and smart utilities.
