For any system to secure them industrial control system plays an important role in it. It helps to design the isolated procure system, specialized communication mechanisms is used to help for the setup. And with the help of this setup the flexibility, safety, threats, and vulnerabilities are the most important things to make. To secure them from risk assessment and other protection measurement need to specify with good instruments and security. The paper describes technical aspects on Denial of Service (Dos) attack. We also identify how smart grid communication networks works in security technical implementation guides of the different countries as a defense information systems agency. A brief chronicle of cyber storm on ICS; common challenges, some mitigation of those challenge, all levels of the multi-layered ICS architecture. This paper demonstrates railway control systems (RCS) compliance estimation of immovable control system design, operational scenarios that can be used for mitigation measures and security assessment.

Monitoring and control systems in the energy sector are specialized information structures that are not governed by the same information technology standards as the rest of the world’s information systems. Such industrial control systems are also used to handle important infrastructures, including smart grids, oil and gas facilities, nuclear power plants, water management systems, and so on. Industry equipment is handled by systems connected to the internet, either via wireless or cable connectivity, in the present digital age. Further, the system must work without fail, with the system’s availability rate being of paramount importance. Furthermore, to certify that the system is not subject to a cyber-attack, the entire system must be safeguarded against cyber security vulnerabilities, threats, and hazards. In addition, the article looks at and evaluates cyber security evaluations for industrial control systems, as well as their possible impact on the accessibility of industrial control system operations in the energy sector. This research work discovers that the hesitant fuzzy-based method of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is an operational procedure for estimating industrial control system cyber security assessments by understanding the numerous characteristics and their impacts on cyber security industrial control systems. The author evaluated the outputs of six distinct projects to determine the quality of the outcomes and their sensitivity. According to the results of the robustness analysis, alternative 1 shows the utmost effective cybersecurity project for the industrial control system. This research work will be a conclusive reference for highly secure and managed monitoring and control systems.

Cyber Kill Chain

Information and cyber security of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) has gained considerable importance. Situation Awareness (SA) is an exciting mechanism to achieve the perception, comprehension and projection of the ICS information security status. Based on the Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture (PERA), a situation awareness framework for ICS is presented considering the ICS cyber kill chain. The proposed framework consists of IT SA Centre, OT SA Centre, and Comprehensive SA Centre. Comprehensive SA Centre is responsible for creating and maintaining an integrated and high level of security visibility into the whole environments. The introduced framework can be used to guide the development of the situation awareness infrastructure in organization with industrial control systems.

Educational Processes

Cybersecurity in industrial control system environments has become a significant concern and is even more relevant in the context of critical infrastructures where control system disruption could have a profound impact on health, safety and the environment. This makes this type of system a major target for malicious activities. Notwithstanding an organization’s interest in protecting its industrial control systems against cyber-attacks, the implementation of security measures, whether technical, organizational or human, still faces resistance and is often seen as a constraint. Using the best technology to protect industrial control systems makes no sense if persons with access do not act attentively and protectively. Technical and human cybersecurity measures are intrinsically linked, and it is essential that all persons with access to these systems are fully aware of the inherent cyber risks. Organizations must also act so that staff receive appropriate training on how to keep systems continuously protected against cyber-attack when carrying out their daily tasks. These educational processes can contribute to building an effective cybersecurity culture fully reflective of management and staff attitudes, so that the availability, integrity and confidentiality of information in industrial control systems can be assured.

True Distribution

The contemporary trend of increasing connectivity, interoperability and efficiency of technologies, which are used in organizations, also affected Industrial Control System (further only ICS). The recently isolated system is becoming more dependent on interconnection with external technologies. This leads to a formation of new vulnerabilities, which are significant threats to ICS. For this reason, it is necessary to devote considerable effort to analyze vulnerabilities. Neglecting of this area could lead to damage or unavailability of ICS services. The purpose of the article is to evaluate vulnerabilities related to individual elements of ICS. The fundamental question of the article is to find a true distribution of security risk related to ICS.
