• Resilient Core Networks for Energy Distribution;  Kuntze, Nicolai; Rudolph, Carsten; Leivesley, Sally; Manz, David O.; Endicott-Popovsky, Barbara E; 28 July 2014: Abstract—Substations and their control are crucial for the availability of electricity in today’s energy distribution. Advanced energy grids with Distributed Energy Resources require higher complexity in substations, distributed functionality and communication between devices inside substations and between substations. Also, substations include more and more intelligent devices and ICT based systems. All these devices are connected to other systems by different types of communication links or are situated in uncontrolled environments. Therefore, the risk of ICT based attacks on energy grids is growing. Consequently, security measures to counter these risks need to be an intrinsic part of energy grids. This paper introduces the concept of a Resilient Core Network to interconnected substations. This core network provides essential security features, enables fast detection of attacks and allows for a distributed and autonomous mitigation of ICT based risks.

• 'Cyberterror and Proxy Conflict Risk – Solutions and CNI Resilience', Keynote, ICS-CSR 2013: International Symposium for ICS & SCADA Cyber Security in Leicester (England) in September 2013.  Cyberterrorism is a key threat to national security.  Emerging risks of layered terror attacks that comprise physical and cyber threats are discussed alongside human factor failures through the Wikileaks and Snowden security breaches and risks of social media exploitation during an attack. Added to this are new vulnerabilities in infrastructure from trends in cyber connectedness for intelligent buildings and smart cities which may present unexpected failure points under a terror attack.  Blue sky research is recommended for solutions to CNI resilience through novel system of systems design for catastrophic failure, changes in human interface management and a review of whether current top critical security controls are adequate: more online. ICS-CSR 2013 is a research conference on security of industrial control systems in the light of their increasing exposure to cyber- space.
