Overview • VACCINE • Basic Issues in Securing CPS • Viewing CPS in Multiple Dimensions • Holistic View of Security of CPS
Collaborative Decision-making and Communication for Crisis Management Maintenance Situational Awareness Risk Assessment/Mitigation Preparedness Capacity to meet new demand level Losses due to downtime Capacity (Sector N) Disruption Time Recovery Response
Collaborative Decision-making and Communication for Crisis Management • Multiple agencies • Multiple missions • Multiple jurisdictions • Multiple business processes • Multiple systems • Multiple terminologies • Multiple cultures It is difficult to fully understand the processes that this community employs to enhance regional safety and security, but mapping and analyzing these processes is a prerequisite to improving them.
Themes in CPS security (NERC) • CPS devices originally designed for isolated environments • Insufficient separation from other systems • Insufficient monitoring of access and use • Need for better coordination, education/training, and workforce enhancement Do we build systems simply to function, or with the understanding they will be attacked?
Levels of Networks • Physical (ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) • Logical (Windows Domain, LAN, shared accounts) • Political (individual, department, school/company, collaborative federation)All connections involve trust, which an attacker (“insider” or remote) can exploit.
A new way of thinking about CPS security • Secure overlay network for isolation and trusted foundation • Integrated access control, command and control hardening, and monitoring • Visualization and analytics for improved oversight • Integrated Ops, SecOps, R&D, and E&TStrategic Framework
