Vulnerabilities of controller that is caused by separation of control and forwarding lead to a threat which attacker can take remote access detection in SDN. The current work proposes a controller architecture called secure control plane (SCP) that enhances security and increase the difficulty of the attack through a rotation of heterogeneous and multiple controllers. Specifically, a dynamic-scheduling method based on Bayesian Stackelberg Games is put forward to maximize security reward of defender during each migration. Secondly, introducing a self-cleaning mechanism combined with game strategy aims at improving the secure level and form a closed-loop defense mechanism; Finally, the experiments described quantitatively defender will get more secure gain based on the game strategy compared with traditional strategy (pure and random strategies), and the self-cleaning mechanism can make the control plane to be in a higher level of security.

This paper focuses on exploitable cyber vulnerabilities in industrial control systems (ICS) and on a new approach of resiliency against them. Even with numerous metrics and methods for intrusion detection and mitigation strategy, a complete detection and deterrence of cyber-attacks for ICS is impossible. Countering the impact and consequence of possible malfunctions caused by such attacks in the safety-critical ICS's, this paper proposes new controller architecture to fail-operate even under compromised situations. The proposed new ICS is realized with diversification of hardware/software and unidirectional communication in alerting suspicious infiltration to upper-level management. Equipped with control bus monitoring, this operation-basis approach of infiltration detection would become a truly cyber-resilient ICS. The proposed system is tested in a lab hardware experimentation setup and on a cybersecurity test bed, DeterLab, for validation.
