The CREDC Industrial Advisory Board recently approved "REMEDYS: Research Exploring Malware in Energy DeliverY Systems." This new research activity will be led by Stuart Madnick, Michael Siegel, and Keri Pearlson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Numerous public and private organizations providing valuable services such as information sharing and malware analysis for the sector exist today. REMEDYS will close the existing gap by connecting and integrating the expertise and resources of the multiple and diverse relevant organizations and stakeholders in a unified effort to protect the sector and nation. Those organizations and stakeholders, within this structure, then accelerate the identification, development, and availability of solutions for new malware.

Our last seminar for the Spring will feature Robert M. Lee of Dragos, Inc. His presentation title is "Industrial Cyber Threats and Future Planning: Where We're Going We Don't Need Roads
ABSTRACT:
This talk will provide information on cyber threats that we are seeing today, including threats from five skilled and persistent teams that targeted infrastructure in 2017, the CRASHOVERRIDE malware, and the TRISIS malware. It will then transition into where we are reasonably going in terms of actions seen from adversaries and the type of sophistication we can expect. Lastly, this presentation will pivot into what some reasonable recommendations for research and actions by the community are needed to counter the current and projected threats.
BIOGRAPHY:

Our #PowerTheFuture social media campaign began this month and features emerging technology or tools resulting from CREDC research. Energy utilities and EDS industries are encouraged to partner with CREDC and contribute to the development and transfer of emerging EDS tools and technology.
Our campaign kicks off with ADNA, an online, context-aware, intelligent tool for anomaly detection and analysis for SCADA networks. Be sure to follow our #PowerTheFuture campaign on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook to tap into how you can inform or benefit from emerging tech that promotes cyber-physical operational resiliency and recovery. |
