چکیده

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are increasingly used to operate critical infrastructure assets. However, the inclusion of advanced information technology and communications components and elaborate control strategies in SCADA systems increase the threat surface for external and subversion-type attacks. The problems are exacerbated by site-specific properties of SCADA environments that make subversion detection impractical; and by sensor noise and feedback characteristics that degrade conventional anomaly detection systems. Moreover, potential attack mechanisms are ill-defined and may include both physical and logical aspects. This paper employs an explicit model of a SCADA system in order to reduce the uncertainty inherent in anomaly detection. Detection is enhanced by incorporating feedback loops in the model. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated using a model of a hydroelectric power plant for which several attack vectors are described.

راهکار ترکیبی نوین جهت تشخیص نفوذ در شبکه‌های کامپیوتری با استفاده از الگوریتم-های هوش محاسباتی

In this paper, a novel hybrid method is proposed for intrusion detection in computer networks using combination of misuse-based and anomaly-based detection models with the aim of performance improvement. In the proposed hybrid approach, a set of algorithms and models is employed. The selection of input features is performed using shuffled frog-leaping (SFL) algorithm. The misuse detection modul...

Assessment Methodology for Anomaly-Based Intrusion Detection in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing has become an attractive target for attackers as the mainstream technologies in the cloud, such as the virtualization and multitenancy, permit multiple users to utilize the same physical resource, thereby posing the so-called problem of internal facing security. Moreover, the traditional network-based intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are ineffective to be deployed in the cloud...

Moving dispersion method for statistical anomaly detection in intrusion detection systems

A unified method for statistical anomaly detection in intrusion detection systems is theoretically introduced. It is based on estimating a dispersion measure of numerical or symbolic data on successive moving windows in time and finding the times when a relative change of the dispersion measure is significant. Appropriate dispersion measures, relative differences, moving windows, as well as tec...

A Survey of Anomaly Detection Approaches in Internet of Things

Internet of Things is an ever-growing network of heterogeneous and constraint nodes which are connected to each other and the Internet. Security plays an important role in such networks. Experience has proved that encryption and authentication are not enough for the security of networks and an Intrusion Detection System is required to detect and to prevent attacks from malicious nodes. In this ...
