“…Work described in [9] presents high abstraction level method of modelling Critical Infrastructure, as transformation from a detailed "Potential" system model to a "Specific" model reflecting a particular instance of the system. The resulting system model consists of functional components transforming input factors into products.…”

The paper describes a critical infrastructure testbed environment for SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) cyber security evaluation and assessment. This includes results of the performed analysis of important features of the critical infrastructure for determination of testbed architecture. As a result the ontology of security for critical infrastructure domain, ontology of protection elements and corresponding taxonomies of infrastructure elements and threats were proposed. A brief survey of the critical infrastructure threats and countermeasure tools was carried out. The proposed environment reflects the real control and supervision substation of electricity generation and distribution control system. SCADA system uses IEC 60870-5-104 and IEC 61850 protocols encapsulated in IPv4 datagrams. The structure of the built testbed environment was shown and its software and hardware components were described. Traffic samples collected from real power IP control and management network for use within testbed generators were analyzed and described.

The paper presents an assessment of the functional mechanisms that are part of the security system for the power grid control. The security system, its components, and the real time processes for the control of electricity supply were defined. In particular, SCADA protocols used in the control system and mechanisms for transferring them between the control center and actuators were identified. The paper also includes presentation of a test environment that is used for developed security mechanisms evaluation. In the last fragment of the paper, the test scenarios were formulated and the results obtained in the cyber security system were shown, which cover security probes reaction delay, forged malicious IEC 60870-5-104 traffic detection, DarkNet and HoneyPot interception of adversary actions, and dynamic firewall rules creation.

The article discusses the use of semantic modeling in the analysis of threats to energy security (ES). Semantic modeling is proposed to be applied at a qualitative level, followed by quantitative assessment of the ES level in studies of energy security. Exercise of traditional software systems provides a quantitative assessment, which is characterized by the duration of information preparation, and the formation and adjustment of large enough models for computational experiments. At the first level, a decision maker selects options for which a detailed rationale is required based on the results of semantic modeling. These options are calculated at the second level. The article presents basic notions of Dynamic Cognitive Maps (DCM) and Bayesian Belief Network (BBN). The paper presents the information model that is suggested to use in analyzing cyber threats in the energy sector. Exemplification of the impact of cyber threats on an energy facility carried out under Dynamic Cognitive Maps and Bayesian Belief Network is given in this article. The advantages of each tool and their role in analyzing cyber threats in the energy sector are presented.
