Action description

This presentation will discuss our experience in implementing intrusion detection systems in OT environments of critical infrastructures. We present critical security problems in OT networks and show possible attack vectors of power supply systems.

Critical infrastructures, such as substations, power plants or control centers, are an attractive target for cyber attacks. The increasing networking and digitalization of these systems and components increases the attack surface and makes them more susceptible to threats. An effective intrusion detection system is therefore essential to ensure the security and reliability of these infrastructures and therefore the power supply.

Due to the long lifetime of OT and ICS systems - in conjunction with their criticality - OT vulnerability management is of great importance. However, this is particularly challenging: ICS/OT components primarily serve the safety and availability of the critical systems they control, so interruptions to operation must be avoided at all costs. The service life of OT systems is designed for over 15 years. Insufficient consideration of other security objectives (confidentiality, integrity) or the inability to implement state-of-the-art IT security measures increases the risk potential.

Our practical findings from the use of IDS underline the need for action to implement the “state of the art” in cyber security in the OT sector. Automation, Cooperation and the exchange of know-how between IT and OT personnel is the key to success and a secure power supply.
