2. Proposal 3: New generation of Secure SCADA allowing for intelligent threat monitoring
Critical Infrastructure (think: harbour, refinery, big plants) are characterised by:
SCADA systems very vulnerable to cyber-attacks
Attackers know this and they are already using it
Actual Standard signature-based detection systems don’t work
There are no signatures to start with
Human errors can cause as much damage as cyber attacks
Many distributed NODES difficult to manage and configure
They rely on legacy systems
Different makers with non inter-operable system
New systems should work for long time (20 years)
Mistakes/misuses can and do happen
wrong sequence of operations + attacker deliberately issues commands

3. Proposal 3: New generation of SCADA allowing for intelligent threat monitoring
Technology Objectives
Giving to the SCADA system the capability to collect logs in the ‘standard’ format interoperable from different makers
Intrusion detection methods for remote SCADA
Proprietary protocols & Signature-less
Techniques for automatic detection of strange/anomalous configuration
Make the system easily update/upgrade to face new threats
Market Innovation Objectives
Target customers : medium and large organizations Manufacturing Industries, Process Industries, Electric Power and Grid or more general in the Monitoring and Control Market (M&C).
that M&C is expected to continue to grow at 7% per year. This is driven by increasing demand related to increased safety, security, energy or environmental concerns.
