A Concise Model to Evaluate Security of SCADA Systems based on Security Standards

Workshop on new security standards for IACS/SCADA industrial systems

The IACS/SCADA-Security WS aims at Security Standards and Practice for Industrial Systems integrated by a sort of Distributed Middleware I4.0. A short tutorial into Security Standards is given by the WS Co-Chairs. In-depth aspects of this issue is discussed and presented by the invited authors from China, UK and Germany presenting: IEC 62443 Security Standards Humans, the strongest and weakest ...

Improving Security in SCADA Systems

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and distributed control systems (DCS) were innovated to reduce labor costs, and to permit system-wide monitoring and remote control from a headquarter. Control systems are widely implemented in critical infrastructures such as electric grid, natural gas and petroleum, water, and wastewater industries. In this paper the structure and archi...

Graded security forensics readiness of SCADA systems

Security event logs are major indicators for the timely discovery of cyberattacks and during security incident examinations. Collection of sufficient logs of events associated with security incident time is critical for effective investigation. SCADA systems logging capabilities are intended for identifying and detecting process disruptions, not security incidents, and are frequently not suitab...

Adversarial-driven Security for SCADA / ICS Systems

Cyber Security Maintenance for SCADA Systems

To ensure a high security level in industrial systems over a period of time, maintenance is required. In this paper, we give an overview of security-related maintenance tasks incorporating new technologies employed in industrial control systems such as cloud computing but also new attack technologies such as GPS spoofing. We also provide a threat model that focuses on threats that materialize d...
