Abstract
The implementation of automated regulatory control has allowed engineers to operate the plant more consistently by focusing on overall operations and settings instead of individual monitoring of local instruments, both inside and outside the control room. Authors propose a similar approach for cyber security, where current border-protection designs have been inherited from information technology developments that lack consideration of the high-reliability, high consequence nature of industrial control systems.
Instead of an independent development, however, an integrated approach is taken to develop a holistic understanding of performance. The performance emerges inside a multi-agent design, which provides a notional context to model highly decentralized and complex industrial process control systems, the nervous system of critical infrastructure. The resulting strategy provides a framework for researching solutions to security and unrecognized interdependency concerns with industrial control systems.
