Diplomatic Academy of Vienna CYBERSECURITY FOR CRITICAL (ENERGY) INFRASTRUCTURE: A GLOBAL CHALLENGE

The growing availability of hackers for hire, zero days exploits for sale, hacking toolkits, and the possibility of buying attacks as a service generate a new economy for criminals and terrorists, thus raising the likelihood of sophisticated attacks on our digitalized infrastructures. Based on this trend, the lines between these groups and their interactions are often blurred. Further, malicious cyber-acts are rarely limited by sovereign borders. Thus, information sharing and international action along with strong national frameworks are paramount to developing deterrence, protection, and response measures to counter malicious cyber-acts against energy infrastructure.

SAFEGUARDING CRITICAL ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE CONTEXT OF REGIONAL AND GLOBAL

SECURITY: STRATEGIC AND DIPLOMATIC ASPECTS

Given the importance of critical energy infrastructure to national prosperity and security, as well as an increasing reliance on information and communications technology (ICT) to run them, the likelihood of tensions arising between states over cyber-incidents involving them is rising. Consequently, efforts to enhance cyber-stability between states, which can prevent tensions and even conflicts, must focus on effectively protecting critical energy infrastructure from cyber/ICT security threats. Exploring the potential threats to critical energy infrastructure and the impact on regional and international peace and security as well as effective mechanisms and processes in the political and strategic sphere to prevent the escalation of events, will be key topics of Day 2 of the Vienna Cyber Security Week 2018.


09:30 – 11:00 SESSION 1: OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR RESPONDING TO THE THREAT OF CYBER-ATTACKS ON CRITICAL ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE

The threat of cyber-attacks continues to grow as potential adversaries continue to develop or acquire new cyber-skills. In this environment, how should States and organizations address a dynamic cyber-threat? Specifically:

What measures can be taken to reduce or contain the cyber-threat? How can response to the growing threat be organized and implemented?

What are the roles and responsibilities of national stakeholders and critical infrastructure owners and operators?

What is the role and capability of international organizations of mitigating such threats?

What additional resources are needed?

Udo Helmbrecht Executive Director, European Union Agency for Network and Information Security, ENISA

Ralf Mutzke Senior Manager, KPMG Austria


11:15 – 12:45 SESSION 2: REDUCING THE RISKS OF CONFLICT STEMMING FROM THE USE OF CYBER-CAPABILITIES

Cyberspace and consequently cyber-attacks are not limited by national borders. The cross-border nature of many attacks and the limited ability to identify the responsible attacker may result in friction between States. International instruments and measures can assist in promoting uniform and predictable response that may assist in preventing undesired side effects including conflict escalation.

14:15 – 14:30 SPECIAL SESSION: SECURING THE FUTURE TOGETHER

What does the current trend in threats, attackers and cybercrime tell us? Where would we want to be in

a few years? In a decade? What concrete initiatives could we design today to ensure the knowledge and

the capabilities to protect critical infrastructure from cyber-attacks exist and is available to the relevant

stakeholders?

Andrea Cavina Director for Training and Education Development, Energypact Foundation

14:30 – 16:15 SESSION 3: CYBER-DIPLOMACY: DEVELOPING CAPACITY AND TRUST BETWEEN STATES

This session examines the need for confidence building and information sharing among States in regards to cyber-incidents, especially those with cross-border implications. While national interest will always dictate information-sharing limitations, meaningful discussions and exchanges between States can be achieved in order to enhance the cybersecurity of the global energy infrastructure.

TRENDS IN TECHNOLOGY AND CYBER SECURITY

On this day, the organizers of the Vienna Cyber Security Week 2018 host cyber range and policy table top tutorials and the Cyber Security Cluster Austria (CSCA) Day 2018. The cyber range and policy table top tutorials offer insight into the hot topic of cyber ranges, of cyber policies and showcases the CSCA Day 2018, a cyber security exhibition on the latest technology.

CYBER RANGE AND POLICY TABLE TOP TUTORIALS:

CONCEPT, DEMONSTRATION, EXERCISES, TRAINING AND THE CYBER RESEARCH PROJECT

10:00 – 12:00 CYBER RANGE TUTORIAL 10:00 – 12:00 POLICY TABLE TOP TUTORIAL

The Cyber Range Tutorial introduce into the concept of cyber ranges and cyber security policies and how they improve cyber security capabilities. Three cyber range case studies will be presented by giving an indication of how they are beneficial to an organization. Further, an example threat scenario will be presented, which can be realized on a cyber range and used for training and exercises. Finally, the cyber range tutorials showcase how the AIT cyber range is being used to support research activities in the IAEA Cooperative Research Project (CRP) on computer security incident response and analysis.

Cyber Security Scenario-based Exercise Developing an effective computer security strategy is key in developing protection against cyber-threats. Scenario-based exercises are a proven method for developing insight into the threat, protection, and associated response. Energypact will lead participants on a mini-exercise based on a realistic scenario in the development of crucial aspects of policy and regulation to address the growing cyber-threat to the energy sector. Adopting realistic roles in a fictional setup, participants will be lead in team through a scenario to challenge their knowledge and assumptions about the role of cyber security in the industry.

SECURING THE ENERGY ECONOMY: OIL, GAS, ELECTRICITY & NUCLEAR Low and zero-carbon energy generation represents a diverse collection of technologies including but not limited to solar, wind, geothermal, hydro, and nuclear. While individual energy sources rely on unique technologies, they are also often bound by similar equipment and components. Day 4 of the conference will examine the cyber security of not only power generation, but also of energy management and transmission through “smart grids.” The infrastructure that supports agile and dynamic energy production, distribution, and consumption of energy on a micro-scale basis will present a core topic in terms of skills, processes, and common strategies for a more sustainable energy economy.

08:30 – 09:00 Coffee & Registration

09:00 – 10:30 SESSION 1: EMERGING AND FUTURE THREATS TO DIGITALIZED ENERGY SYSTEMS

We are in the process of digitalizing our energy systems, be those nuclear facilities, oil refineries, or electrical distribution systems. Digitalization introduces several operational benefits and efficiencies; however, it introduces a much larger cyber-attack surface. Cyber-attacks to critical infrastructures are becoming more targeted and sophisticated and they are targeting operational and safety-critical systems, using a range of attack techniques. In this session, we will talk about the nature of the emerging threat landscape, identifying broad trends that are being seen across the energy sector and elsewhere.
