Cybersafety: A System-Theoretic Approach to Identify Cyber-Vulnerabilities & Mitigation Requirements in Industrial Control Systems
IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing（2022）
摘要
Recent cyber-physical attacks, such as
Stuxnet, Triton
etc., have invoked an ominous realization about the vulnerability of critical infrastructure, including water, power and gas distribution systems. Traditional IT security-biased protection methods that focus on improving
cyber hygiene
are largely impotent in the face of targeted attacks by advanced cyber-adversaries. Thus, there is an urgent need to analyze the safety and security of critical infrastructure in a holistic fashion, leveraging the
physics
of the cyber-physical system. System-Theoretic Accident Model & Processes (STAMP) offers a powerful framework to analyze complex systems; hitherto, STAMP has been used extensively to perform safety analyses but an integrated safety and cybersecurity analysis of industrial control systems (ICS) has not been published. This paper uses the electrical generation and distribution system of an archetypal industrial facility to demonstrate the application of a STAMP-based method – called
Cybersafety
– to identify and mitigate cyber-vulnerabilities in ICS. The key contribution of this work is to differentiate the additional steps required to perform a holistic cybersecurity analysis for an ICS of significant size and complexity and to present the analysis in a structured format that can be emulated for larger systems with many interdependent subsystems.
