Abstract:
The Internet is now heavily relied upon by the Critical Infrastructures (CI). This has led to different security threats facing interconnected security systems. By understanding the complexity of critical infrastructure interdependency, and how to take advantage of it in order to minimize the cascading problem, enables the prediction of potential problems before they happen. Our proposed system, detailed in this paper, is able to detect cyber-attacks and share the knowledge with interconnected partners to create an immune system network. In order to demonstrate our approach, a realistic simulation is used to construct data and evaluate the system put forward. This paper provides a summary of the work to-date, on the development of a system titled Critical Infrastructure Auto-Immune Response System (CIAIRS). It provides a view of the main CIAIRS segments, which comprise the framework and illustrates the functioning of the system.
