The Convergence Of It And Ot In Critical Infrastructure, Glenn Murray, Michael N. Johnstone, Craig Valli Jan 2017

The Convergence Of It And Ot In Critical Infrastructure, Glenn Murray, Michael N. Johnstone, Craig Valli

Australian Information Security Management Conference

Automation and control systems, such as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), DCS (Distributed Control Systems) and are often referred to as Operational Technology (OT). These systems are used to monitor and control critical infrastructures such as power, pipelines, water distribution, sewage systems and production control,). Traditionally, these OT systems have had a degree of physical separation from Information Technology (IT) infrastructures. With changing technologies and a drive towards data-driven and remote operations the two technology environments are starting to converge. With this convergence, what was a relatively standalone secure and isolated environment is now connected and accessible via the …


An Investigation Into Some Security Issues In The Dds Messaging Protocol, Thomas White, Michael N. Johnstone, Matthew Peacock Jan 2017

An Investigation Into Some Security Issues In The Dds Messaging Protocol, Thomas White, Michael N. Johnstone, Matthew Peacock

Australian Information Security Management Conference

The convergence of Operational Technology and Information Technology is driving integration of the Internet of Things and Industrial Control Systems to form the Industrial Internet of Things. Due to the influence of Information Technology, security has become a high priority particularly when implementations expand into critical infrastructure. At present there appears to be minimal research addressing security considerations for industrial systems which implement application layer IoT messaging protocols such as Data Distribution Services (DDS). Simulated IoT devices in a virtual environment using the DDSI-RTPS protocol were used to demonstrate that enumeration of devices is possible by a non-authenticated client in …
