Advances in the Protection of Critical Infrastructure by Improvement in Industrial Control System Security
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an international research effort that has been working toward identification of vulnerabilities in industrial control systems, mitigation strategies to address vulnerabilities, and development of tools to prevent intrusion on such systems. The research represents over five years of externally funded work within the United States and a strong partnership between the U.S. institution and both Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and the University of South Australia (UniSA). The authors introduce the security problem with such systems, discoveries to date, and the development of tools to provide intrusion detection, intrusion prevention, and forensic data capture within industrial control systems. .
