Industrial Cyber Security

Attacks on Industrial and Cyber Physical Systems

Cyber criminals can attack industrial facilities that include— Critical infrastructures such as power generation, transmission & distribution, water utilities, mass transit systems and manufacturing for various purposes, e.g. to develop future attacks anticipated to sabotage the facility or to steal large scale investments intellectual property & exponential technologies. In addition, cyber criminals can intentionally compromise human & environmental safety, trigger an attack to a different location, initiate misunderstanding and panic between citizens, obtain financial revenue for a criminal organization, and cause major market fluxes and advantages for particular market companies.

The frequency and sophistication of cyber-threats towards Industrial Control Systems (ICS) continues to increase. This reality, coupled with the increased inter connectivity of ICS and enterprise networks and the utilization of standard system platforms and operating systems, has raised the potential risk to both the security and safety of critical infrastructure . Depending on the objectives and goals of the attack, the malicious attacker will use various system weaknesses to conduct cyber attacks.

Lack of CONFIDENTIALITY

Unauthorized Access to Data

By taking advantage of malicious or untrained Staff Member
Taking advantage of less attentive staff and gathering data through Phishing or Spear Phishing

Loss of INTEGRITY

Interception & Modification of Data, Software, Hardware, etc

Viruses, Worms, and Trojan horses, code that might destroy, expose, or capture data
Stealing remote systems that may provide access to information or OT Systems

Loss of AVAILABILITY

Blockage of Data Transmission Lines and/or Shutdown of Systems

Fire, flood, and earthquakes resulting in electrical outages and hardware failures
DOS or DDOS attacks

Loss of RELIABILITY

Breach of Data Communications Systems, SCADA, PLC, etc

Theft of maintenance computers or unauthorized access to server rooms, file cabinets or offices
Compromise systems exposed on a public network or trying to spoof remote systems

Cyber Security Attacks on Industrial Facilities in Last Decade at a Glance

Industrial Cyber Security is Different

OT or Industrial Control System (ICS) networks increasingly use the same type of technologies as used on IT networks, and are therefore increasingly vulnerable to same type of attacks as on IT networks, while these networks are designed by keeping ICS functioning in mind that differ markedly from IT security designs.

We can't expect that architecture and design intended to protect information in IT systems can also address specific requirements of cyber physical systems used in industrial facilities.

CyberGen’s mission is to transform how industries protect physical assets and industrial automation processes from cyber-attacks.

Manufacturing systems and process automation systems – collectively referred to as Industrial Control Systems (ICS) – are used in almost all infrastructures handling physical processes. Industrial Control Systems are widely used in energy generation and distribution, gas and water supply, and state-of - the-art facility management systems. These ICSs are increasingly exposed to the similar or advance cyber threats as traditional IT systems. Because of increase in cyber threats on industrial systems and the newly identified vulnerabilities, asset owners need to tackle these problems urgently. Therefore, the threats and potentials of un targeted malware and high-quality complex targeted attacks against ICS infrastructures must be addressed. This applies to OT infrastructure linked directly to Internet and infrastructures that can be targeted by cyber-attacks indirectly.
