Abstract:

To solve the problems of uncertain influence factors and indicator quantification difficulty in the risk assessment of industrial control networks, a method based on fuzzy theory and attack tree was proposed, and the proposed method was tested and verified on Chinese Train Control System (CTCS). First, an attack tree model for CTCS was constructed based on network security threats and system vulnerability. α-cut Triangular Fuzzy Number (TFN) was used to calculate the interval probabilities of leaf nodes and attack paths. Then, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was adopted to establish the mathematical model for security event losses and get the final risk assessment result. Finally, the experimental result demonstrates that the proposed method implements system risk assessment effectively, predicts the attack paths successfully and reduces the influence of subjective factors. By taking advantage of the proposed method, the risk assessment result would be more realistic and provides reference and basis for the selection of security protection strategies.

摘要:

针对工业控制系统网络安全风险评估影响因素的不确定性和指标量化困难问题,提出一种基于模糊理论和攻击树的方法评估工业控制系统风险,并将它应用于中国列车控制系统(CTCS)的风险评估。首先,基于CTCS可能面临的网络安全威胁和系统自身的脆弱性建立攻击树模型,使用 α-截集三角模糊数(TFN)计算攻击树叶节点和攻击路径的区间概率;其次,利用层次分析法(AHP)建立安全事件损失数学模型,最终得出风险评估值。实验结果表明,所提方法可以有效评估系统风险,预测攻击路径,降低主观因素对风险评估过程的影响,使评估结果更契合实际,为安全防护策略的选择提供参考和依据。
