Critical Infrastructure Attack Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
The development and connection of information and communication technologies with industrial control systems in the so-called critical infrastructure have contributed to the emergence of new complex threats. The critical infrastructure has become a target of sophisticated cyber attacks which exploit several, also unknown, vulnerabilities in one course of an attack. The paper proposes an attack modeling method enabling us to determine the vulnerabilities and riskful exposure of the systems. Organizational changes to ensure cyber defense of the critical infrastructure are also proposed.

Attack Modeling in the Critical Infrastructure
The development and connection of information and communication technologies with industrial control systems in the so-called critical infrastructure have contributed to the emergence of new complex threats. The critical infrastructure has become a target of sophisticated cyber attacks which exploit numerous known as well as unknown vulnerabilities in one course of an attack. The paper proposes...
متن کاملOutlining Comprehensive Security Analysis of a Critical Infrastructure Network
This paper outlines a security assessment methodology for analysing critical infrastructure networks. The focus is on intentional attacks against critical infrastructure, but otherwise the scope is not delimited much. Comprehensive security analysis of a critical infrastructure network requires an assessment of the probability of an attack, the probability of success of the attack, the propagat...
متن کاملModeling and Managing Risk in Billing Infrastructures
This paper discusses risk modeling and risk management in information and communications technology (ICT) systems for which the attack impact distribution is heavy tailed (e.g., power law distribution) and the average risk is unbounded. Systems with these properties include billing infrastructures used to charge customers for services they access. Attacks against billing infrastructures can be ...
متن کاملAn Integrated Approach to Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis of Critical Infrastructure Systems
Critical Infrastructure Systems (CIS) within the United States are crucial to national defense, economic stability, and public safety. Protection of these assets against attack is a major concern [1] and dictates that innovative approaches be developed for identification and mitigation of their vulnerabilities. Establishment of effective and viable vulnerability assessment techniques for CIS ha...
متن کاملUsing Attack-Defense Trees to Analyze Threats and Countermeasures in an ATM: A Case Study
Securing automated teller machines (ATMs), as critical and complex infrastructure, requires a precise understanding of the associated threats. This paper reports on the application of attack-defense trees to model and analyze the security of ATMs. We capture the most dangerous multi-stage attack scenarios applicable to ATM structures, and establish a practical experience report, where we reflec...
