Efficient Cyber Attacks Detection in Industrial Control Systems Using Lightweight Neural Networks
share
Industrial control systems (ICSs) are widely used and vital to industry and society. Their failure can have severe impact on both economics and human life. Hence, these systems have become an attractive target for attacks, both physical and cyber. A number of attacks detection methods were proposed, however, they are characterized by an insufficient detection rate, a substantial false positives rate, or are system specific. In this paper, we study an attack detection method based on simple and lightweight neural networks, namely, 1D convolutions and autoencoders. We apply these networks to both time and frequency domains of the collected data and discuss pros and cons of each approach. We evaluate the suggested method on three popular public datasets and achieve detection metrics matching or exceeding previously published detection results, while featuring small footprint, short training and detection times, and generality.
