1. A computer-implemented method for controlling an operation of a technical system automatically, comprising:
acquiring information about a modified configuration of at least one sub-system included in the technical system;
generating a virtual model of the technical system including the at least one sub-system with the modified configuration for an evaluation of the operation;
adjusting the virtual model to provide a control instruction for the operation of the technical system, wherein the adjusted virtual model is configured to compare an evaluation value acquired from the evaluation with a target requirement in a cryptographic environment and to derive the control instruction based on the comparison; and
controlling the operation of the technical system based on the control instruction,
wherein the evaluation for the operation is at least one of a FTA (Fault Tree Analysis), a RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety) analysis, and a FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), and
wherein the evaluation value is a table acquired in the cryptographic environment from the FTA and the RAMS analysis.
