Visible to the public RUCKUS: A Cybersecurity Engine for Performing Autonomous Cyber-Physical System

Submitted by Bradley Potteiger on Fri, 03/13/2020 - 12:31pm. Contributors:
In 2016, the Cyber Grand Challenge (CGC) provided key foundations and motivations for navigating towards an autonomous cybersecurity approach. Since that time, novel strides have been made in the areas of static analysis, vulnerability discovery, patching, and exploit generation. However, a majority of these efforts have been focused on enterprise systems, leaving a gap in the Cyber-Physical System (CPS) domain.

Visible to the public The More the Merrier: Adding Hidden Measurements for Anomaly Detection and Mitigation in Industrial Control Systems

Submitted by cardenas on Fri, 03/13/2020 - 12:09pm. Contributors:
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) collect information from a variety of sensors throughout the process, and then use that information to control some physical components. Control engineers usually have to pick which measurements they are going to use and then they purchase sensors to take these measurements. However, in most cases they only need a small subset of all possible measure-ments that can be used.

Submitted by Xenofon Koutsoukos on Thu, 03/12/2020 - 10:28am. Contributors:
In this work, we study the vulnerabilities of protection systems that can detect cyber-attacks in power grid systems. We show that machine learning-based discriminators are not resilient against Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. In particular, we demonstrate that an adversarial actor can launch DoS attacks on specific sensors, render their measurements useless and cause the attack detector to classify a more sophisticated cyber-attack as a normal event.

Visible to the public Simulation Testbed for Railway Infrastructure Security and Resilience Evaluation

Submitted by himanshu on Thu, 03/12/2020 - 10:13am. Contributors:
The last decade has seen an influx of digital connectivity, operation automation, and remote sensing and control mechanisms in the railway domain. The management of the railway operations through the use of distributed sensors and controllers and with programmable and remotely controllable railway signals and switches has led to gains in system efficiency as well as operational flexibility.
