Do you know what your smart devices are doing? Penny McKenzie, a cybersecurity researcher at PNNL, has been studying the behavior of Internet of Things devices to understand how to secure enterprise and home networks. Devices each have their own set of behaviors that can be monitored to detect anomalous actions. Penny will give an overview of the implications of utilizing smart devices in your home or organizations network and how researchers are helping realize the potential of these devices while maintaining security. Co-sponsored by: David Bondurant, dbondurant@mac.com,region 6 and Richland section Speaker(s): Penny Mckenzie, Agenda: December 14th 2021 , 12pm -1pm pacific time Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/294988

Control system cyber incidents affecting pipelines, rail, and aviation have caused catastrophic damage resulting in multi-billion-dollar impacts and hundreds of deaths. Detecting cyberattacks against IT and OT networks can be done today. However, the same cannot be said for detecting control system cyber incidents (attacks and unintentional incidents) that occur with the cyber insecure control system field devices. This means the TSA security directives of reporting incidents within 24 hours to CISA, conducting meaningful vulnerability assessments, and developing contingency and recovery plans for identified malicious cyber activity cannot be met for control system related incidents. Control system cyber security training, contingency, and recovery plans need to be developed based on real control system cases. Process sensor integrity and authentication is needed to recognize system/equipment malfunctions that could be cyber-related. There is a need for government and industry to coordinate the myriad standards and governmental activities on critical infrastructure cyber security to assure there are no inconsistencies. Government funding to accredited standards organizations like ISA and IEEE can accelerate the standards development.

When the power grid is disrupted – by an outage, a cyberattack, a natural disaster, or an unexpected imbalance of supply and demand – grid operators utilize Remedial Action Schemes (RAS) as the last line of defense to maintain grid reliability and prevent broader, cascading events. RAS represents one of the core resilience components of the electric power system and is also one unique example of the IT/OT technology fusion in grid modernization and digitalization. In partnership with PacifiCorp and Idaho Power, a Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) research team led by Dr. Xiaoyuan Fan has developed (https://www.pnnl.gov/available-technologies/trast-preventative-measures-real-world-reliability). The patented technology automates the process of identifying and evaluating RAS used by electric utilities to plan for specific contingencies and emergencies. TRAST uses a novel approach to automatically generate use cases, bringing in advanced statistical data analysis tools, and using machine learning algorithms to analyze, validate, and help create RAS plans. PNNL’s parallel computing platform and Microsoft cloud environment are utilized for steady state and dynamic simulations under massive contingencies and operating conditions. More realistic settings of RAS systems in the U.S. Western Interconnection can make the grid more reliable and resilient. Contact Chris Gunning, cgunning@ieee.org, Boise Computer Society chapter chair, if you have a section, chapter, or student branch that would like to be a co-host for this event.
