Cybersecurity and Emerging Threats in Cybersecurity
2349-5162
Abstract
Cybersecurity is a widely used term with highly diverse, frequently subjective, and occasionally uninformative definitions. Disrupting force processes in national security and the economy can be disastrous. The challenge of meeting safety and quality compliance on operations, given the complexity of widely distributed assets and the inter-dependence between computing, communication and power infrastructures. In recent years a cyber security standard is set by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), which demands compliance by the utility with cyber security control systems. This standard identifies various cyber related vulnerabilities in control systems and recommends multiple corrective measures (e.g. best practices). A systematic information security analysis of critical infrastructure is stated in this article. The following four main components propose a framework for monitoring and data acquisition: 1) real-time monitoring; 2) identification of anomalies; 3) effect analyzes; and 4) methods for mitigating. Furthermore, an attack-tree methodology is developed for impact analysis. In order to predict processes, the situation, and leaf-level flaws, the attack-tree model based on power system control networks determines the system's opponents. The insecurity of the leaf is central to port testing or password intensity evaluation methodology. In the framework for controlling the power plant, the measurement of vulnerabilities is based on conditions of former cyber security and the vulnerability indices are assessed.
