Semantic-Based Approach for Cyber-Physical Cascading Effects Within Healthcare Infrastructures

This paper presents a framework for integrated cyber-physical security propagation study within critical infrastructures (hospitals use case). The framework includes an ontology for the semantic modeling of cyber-physical security. The impact propagation approach relies on propagation rules inferring the cascading effects of security incidents occurring in hospitals. An impact score module allows evaluating impacts' severity, considering implemented protection measures. This work is part of the European project SAFECARE, which provides a set of tests and demonstration sessions in partnership with 3 hospitals in Europe. During these tests, we measured effectiveness and efficiency metrics, as well as end users' satisfaction feedback. Experiments performed on real attack scenarios, show high effectiveness rates and a common agreement from end-users about the added value of the solution to enhance risks analysis practice and increase hospitals mitigation strategies efficiency.

Abstract. Critical infrastructures are very important tools which are paramount to the development of any nation. Therefore, they must be protected and catered for in order to promote their longevity. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) critical infrastructures are significant amenities which the nations depend solely upon in order to run their day to day transactions. Similarly, some advanced systems like the computerized integrated systems are used to support many functions and to improve their efficiency. Examples include the power grid generation control system, the railway stations in transport, the health infrastructure etc. There are numerous vulnerabilities and attacks on the network which these infrastructures are inter connected to in order to make them function well and to serve the populace. These attacks compromise the Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA) of a computer with internet network. However, this paper aims at providing comprehensive security gaps in ICT critical infrastructure and their preventive measures by critically reviewing related works that have been done and suggest possible ways to improving the system so that the people can be served well with the resources, and similarly to prevent the attackers from hacking into the system when there is a system breakdown.

“…Despite substantial interest by the research community, it is still an immature, albeit rapidgrowing, discipline [4,13,16,31,32]. While numerous researchers have focused on critical infrastructure dependencies (see e.g., [2,3,5,7,[10][11][12][13]15,21,25,27,[29][30][31][32][33]35,38,39,43]), the vast majority of efforts consider individual or a few critical infrastructures, perform qualitative as opposed to quantitative analyses, fail to consider time-dependent (dynamic) behavior and/or rely on limited or artificial data because detailed information about critical infrastructures is not publicly available due to its sensitivity.…”

“…Because of the complexity of critical infrastructure dependencies, the vast majority of researchers have conducted analyses of limited numbers of critical infrastructures (see e.g., [3,7,10,12,13,15,21,25,27,[29][30][31][32][33]35,38,43]). Several researchers [2,5,11,24,26] have attempted to model dependencies in all the i n t e r n a t i o n a l j o u r n a l o f c r i t i c a l i n f r a s t r u c t u r e p r o t e c t i o n 8 ( 2 0 1 5 ) 1 6 -2 3 critical infrastructures listed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security [37], but some of the work [2,5,11] is restricted to military use [40] and few details are provided about the approaches used to quantify infrastructure dependencies.…”
