Conference Description:
Please consider contributing your research in the field of Industrial Control System Security at the Ninth ICSS Workshop. Also, please share this invitation with the relevant fellow scientists.Ninth Annual Industrial Control System Security (ICSS) Workshop
December 5, 2023 - Austin, Texas
The ninth Industrial Control System Security (ICSS) Workshop will be held on Tuesday, December 5, 2023, in conjunction with the Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC). ACSAC will be held at the AT&T Conference Center in Austin, Texas.
Call for Papers. Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and industrial control systems (ICS) monitor and control a wide range of critical industrial and infrastructure processes, such as water treatment, power generation and transmission, oil and gas refining, and manufacturing. Furthermore, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is rapidly expanding the interconnectivity of ICS environments and introducing many new threats. These environments have been identified as a key target of more generic threats (ransomware, e.g., CL0p), along with more recent tailored nation-state threats targeting electric transmission and distribution systems (e.g., COSMICENERGY).
The essential requirement for high availability in SCADA and industrial control systems, along with the use of resource-constrained computing devices, legacy operating systems, and proprietary software applications, limits the applicability of traditional information security solutions. The goal of this workshop is to explore new techniques that are more effective and efficient at improving the security and resilience of critical control systems in the face of emerging threats. Papers of interest, including (but not limited to) the following subject categories, are solicited:
IIoT security
Intrusion detection and prevention
Emerging threats to ICS
Vulnerability analysis and risk management
Digital forensics for ICS/PLCs
Techniques for engineering high(er) assurance ICSs
ICS-oriented cybersecurity education
Performance evaluation of security methods and tools in control systems
Innovative ICS/SCADA testbed designs
Supply chain vulnerabilities and protections
Modeling ICS security and resilience properties
