SCEPTICS: A SystematiC Evaluation Process for Threats to Industrial Control Systems

工业控制系统几乎支撑着英国生活的方方面面，由国家电网运营的电网和由铁路安全和标准委员会（RSSB）监管的铁路网络就是两个关键的例子。在这个项目中，我们将与国家电网和RSSB合作，对他们的系统进行详细的安全分析，寻找可能的网络攻击点，并建立对可能失败的影响的理解。这将为这些重要系统带来更好的安全性。基于我们从分析中学到的东西，我们将与公司Level 3 TRL和Parsons Brinckerhoff合作，将我们的方法推广到其他工业控制系统所有者可以使用的业务流程中，以帮助确保他们的系统免受网络攻击。

Industrial Control Systems underpin almost all aspects of life in the UK, the power network operated by the National Grid and the rail network, which is over seen by the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) are two key examples of this. In this project we will work with the National Grid and RSSB to perform a detailed security analysis of their systems, looking for possible points of cyber attack and building an understanding of the impact of possible failures. This will lead to better security for these important systems. Based on what we learn from this analysis we will work with the company Level 3 TRL and Parsons Brinckerhoff to generalise our methods into business processes that other owners of industrial control systems can use to help ensure their systems are safe from cyber attacks.
