Abstract

This paper presents a distributed intrusion detection system (DIDS) for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) industrial control systems, which was developed for the CockpitCI project. Its architecture was designed to address the specific characteristics and requirements for SCADA cybersecurity that cannot be adequately fulfilled by techniques from the information technology world, thus requiring a domain-specific approach. DIDS components are described in terms of their functionality, operation, integration, and management. Moreover, system evaluation and validation are undertaken within an especially designed hybrid testbed emulating the SCADA system for an electrical distribution grid.
