Abstract | There exists a gap between existing security mechanisms and their ability to detect advancing threats. Antivirus and EDR (End Point Detection and Response) aim to detect and prevent threats; such security mechanisms are reactive. This approach did not prove to be effective in protecting against stealthy attacks. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) security is crucial for any country. However, SCADA is always an easy target for adversaries due to a lack of security for heterogeneous devices. An attack on SCADA is mainly considered a national-level threat. Recent research on SCADA security has not considered “unknown threats,” which has left a gap in security. The proactive approach, such as threat hunting, is the need of the hour. In this research, we investigated that threat hunting in conjunction with cyber deception and kill chain has countervailing effects on detecting SCADA threats and mitigating them. We have used the concept of “decoy farm” in the SCADA network, where all attacks are engaged. Moreover, we present a novel threat detection and prevention approach for SCADA, focusing on unknown threats. To test the effectiveness of approach, we emulated several SCADA, Linux and Windows based attacks on a simulated SCADA network. We have concluded that our approach detects and prevents the attacker before using the current reactive approach and security mechanism for SCADA with enhanced protection for heterogeneous devices. The results and experiments show that the proposed threat hunting approach has significantly improved the threat detection ability. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
