Traditional detection approaches that rely on raw traffic or protocol information often oversee structural changes that are induced by such attacks. In this work, we presents a topology-driven approach for detection of cyberattacks in water distribution networks based on Graph Processing for Machine Learning (GPML) framework. The raw traffic is transformed into dynamic graphs, from which community and spectral metrics are extracted and analyzed for any structural and communication modifications with time. The proposed methodology is evaluated on three industrial water distribution datasets such as HITL, SWaT, and CrossTest. Spectral and community graph metrics improve the model performance in detection of cyber and pyhiscal attacks across the three datasets.
