  1. Dept. of Homeland Security Science & Technology Directorate Innovation Partnerhsip Models with the Finance Sector NCDI Workshop BITS, Washington, DC October 29, 2009 Douglas Maughan, Ph.D. Branch Chief / Program Mgr. douglas.maughan@dhs.gov 202-254-6145 / 202-360-3170

  2. Science and Technology (S&T) Mission Conduct, stimulate, and enable research, development, test, evaluation and timely transition of homeland security capabilities to federal, state and local operational end-users.

  3. Examples of Partnership Models • LOGIIC – Linking Oil and Gas Industry to Improve Cybersecurity • PPISC-ES – Payment Processing Information Sharing Council – Enhance Security Working Group • DECIDE – Distributed Exercises • TCIP – Trustworthy Cyber Infrastructure for Power • S2ERC – Security and Software Engineering Research Center • I3P – Institute for Information Infrastructure Protection • SIF – System Integrator Forum • ITSEF – IT Security Entrepreneur Forum

  4. History • ChevronTexaco approached DHS in March 2004 about possible opportunities to secure O&G cyber infrastructure • Ensuing discussions determined that this should be done sector-wide • Convened workshop in July 2004 in Washington, DC • Outcome of meeting was to determine if it was possible for government and industry to work together to (a) establish a SCADA testbed and (b) determine a working model for future research and development activities.

  5. History (cont’d) • Industry partners agreed on technical project focus • April 2005 • Project officially started July 1, 2005 • Invited technology providers to show capabilities • Aug-Sept 2005 • Industry selected winning candidates • Project presented to O&G industry - Sept. 11, 2006 • Captured in LOGIIC DVD

  6. Partnership • Project LOGIIC is a model for government-industry technology integration and demonstration efforts to address critical R&D needs • Industry contributes • Requirements and operational expertise • Project management • Product vendor channels • DHS S&T contributes • National Security Perspective on threats • Access to long term security research • Independent researchers with technical expertise • Testing facilities

  7. AttackIndicationsand Warnings ExternalEvents LOGIICCorrelationEngine ProcessControlNetwork BusinessNetwork Overview • Opportunity: Reduce vulnerabilities of oil & gas process control environments by correlating and analyzing abnormal events to identify and prevent cyber security threats • Approach: • Identify new types of security sensors for process control networks • Adapt a best-of-breed correlation engine to this environment • Integrate in testbed and demonstrate • Transfer technology to industry

  11. DECIDE (Distributed Environment for Critical Infrastructure Decision-making Exercises) • Enable enterprise decision-makers to think through responses to operational disruptions of market-based transactions across networks - Sector(s), Market(s), Institution(s) • Provide a dedicated exercise capability for several critical infrastructures in the U.S. • Enterprises will be able to initiate their own large-scale exercises, define their own scenarios, protect their proprietary data, and learn vital lessons to enhance business continuity, all from their desktops • The concept has been reviewed by and developed with input from experts at ChicagoFIRST, the Options Clearing Corporation, ABN-AMRO, Eurex, Archipelago, Bank of New York, and CitiBank. • The Financial Services Sector Coordinating Council R&D Committee has organized a user-group of subject matter experts (SMART team) paid by their respective financial institutions to support the project over the next three years.

  12. Current TCIP Scale of Effort $1.5 M per year for 5 years Funded by National Science Foundation With additional support from Department Of Energy, Department of Homeland Security 4 universities, 20 senior investigators University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Washington State University Cornell University Dartmouth University 35 Graduate and Undergraduate Students Industry advisory board (35 owners, operators, vendors)

  13. Questions that need Answers • What do you really want to do? • More formally organize information sharing and someone own it? • Known technology exploration and evaluation? • New R&D to support finance sector? FSSCC R&D Agenda • What do you really think the government’s role is (depends on the answer to the first question)? • What “formal agreements” do you have and do you believe you need others? • Are all of the “stakeholders” present? If not, do they need to be? If they’re not, can you still succeed? • Do you plan to put money on the table to accomplish what you want? Will everyone contribute equally? • Tons of others – anti-trust, liability, IPR, etc.
