Abstract
ICS (industrial control systems) security researches have paid a great effort on anomaly detection base on the analyzes of communication protocols, network dataflow, sensor time series. However, few research have been done to recognize cyber attacks as well as the localization, which make active security control impossible. Actually, to recognize cyber attacks is crucial for ICS security control. In this paper, we proposed a novel multivariate time series attack detection and location framework based on adaptive state space formulation and forecasting. To dynamically describe systems' state transition characteristics, a graph structure learning scheme was designed based on Attention mechanism. Furthermore, to achieve state forecasting of systems, an improved Kalman filter with Transformer mechanism was proposed. Experiments on datasets from real industrial scenario demonstrated the effectiveness, and proved that the proposed method achieved higher location accuracy than the state-of-the-art methods.
期刊介绍:
The proposed journal, called the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering (TNSE), is committed to timely publishing of peer-reviewed technical articles that deal with the theory and applications of network science and the interconnections among the elements in a system that form a network. In particular, the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering publishes articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks at the fundamental level. The types of networks covered include physical or engineered networks, information networks, biological networks, semantic networks, economic networks, social networks, and ecological networks. Aimed at discovering common principles that govern network structures, network functionalities and behaviors of networks, the journal seeks articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks. Another trans-disciplinary focus of the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering is the interactions between and co-evolution of different genres of networks.
