Motivation

  • Sophisticated attacks target

entire Industrial Control Systems (ICSs):

– Existing solutions focus on a small scale: separate pieces of the system, i.e., end devices – Difficult to detect large-scale attacks

Our Proposal

  • A system-wide vulnerability and

incident detection system that:

– Places numerous small software/hardware sensors on the grid, aka ants1 – Groups them together to link anomalies to vulnerabilities

Advantages of Using Ants

  • Ants may be unintelligent and lightweight, reusable

and shareable

  • Correlate anomalous findings across disparate parts
  • f the grid into a distributed, integrated, and

customizable solution

  • Provide evidence of incidents and vulnerabilities
  • Aid for ICS operators and security officers

Current Work

  • Placement and development of ants
  • Colony definitions and specializations
  • Coordination and correlation of ant finesses with

colony health levels
