AMICI: An Assessment Platform for Multi-domain Security Experimentation on Critical Infrastructures
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents AMICI, a new Assessment/analysis platform for Multiple Interdependent Critical Infrastructures (CIs). Its architecture builds on our previous work and uses Emulab to recreate ICT software and hardware components and Simulink to run the physical process models. Our previous framework is extended with software components to provide a set of capabilities that would enable the analysis of complex interdependencies between multiple CIs: flexible integration of multiple physical process models; opened architecture to enable interaction with ad-hoc software; support experimentation with real software/malware; automated experiment management capabilities. The applicability of the approach is proven through a case study involving three CIs: ICT, power grid and railway.

Risk assessment of multi-order dependencies between critical ICT infrastructures
Assessing risk in information and communication infrastructures is a challenging topic due to the complexity of critical infrastructures (CIs) and of the various dependencies between such infrastructures. This chapter discusses the basic concepts of risk assessment for CIs. Moreover, it describes a recently proposed methodology for criticality assessment. The main goal of this methodology is to...
متن کاملSecurity Assessment Methodology for Critical Infrastructure Components
Protecting critical infrastructure assets such as telecommunications networks and energy generation and distribution facilities from cyber attacks is a major challenge. However, because security is a complex and multi-layered topic, a foundation for manufacturers to assess the security of products used in critical infrastructures is often missing. This paper describes a structured security asse...
متن کاملCascading Effects of Common-Cause F on ailures Critical Infrastructures
One of the most challenging problems in Critical Infrastructure Protection is the assessment and mitigation of cascading failures across infrastructures. In previous research we have proposed a method for assessing the cumulative security risk of cascading threats due to multi-order dependencies between infrastructures. However, recent empirical studies indicate that common mode failures may re...
متن کاملEnabling the Exploration of Operating Procedures in Critical Infrastructures
Modern testbeds for the experimental analysis of critical infrastructures either totally ignore the human factor or incorporate real humanmachine interfaces (HMIs) and software that require the presence of human operators during an experiment. Although experimentation with humans in the loop can provide invaluable experimental data about human decision making and reactions, it is infeasible to ...
متن کاملCyber Security Threats to Safety-critical, Space-based Infrastructures
Space-based systems play an important role within national critical infrastructures. They are being integrated into advanced air-traffic management applications, rail signalling systems, energy distribution software etc. Unfortunately, the end users of communications, location sensing and timing applications often fail to understand that these infrastructures are vulnerable to a wide range of s...
