Abstract

Modern industrial control systems (ICS) like power grids are gradually equipped with dynamic operational technology (OT) components. This environment makes traditional static-configured security solutions less effective. To deploy highly configurable security solutions in ICS, we propose to use software defined networking (SDN), a technology that can monitor and program communications networks at run-time. As a preliminary step, we propose to use SDN to create separate encrypted channels to protect various control applications to meet the security-performance trade-off at run time. This idea can inspire the design of nonintrusive security solutions in various and highly dynamic ICS environments.
