Industrial Control Security (ICS) plays an important role in protecting Industrial assets and processed from being tampered by attackers. Recent years witness the fast development of ICS technology. However there are still few real case study to verify the effectiveness of ICS approaches when dealing with ICS threats. In this paper, we provide a real case study in industrial environments. The case study demonstrates the attacking process of virus spread and worm propagation in industrial environments. The case study also shows how the anomaly detection techniques could be used to identify the bad behaviors of virus and help security administrators to enhance the security of industrial environments.

Industrial Control Security (ICS) plays an important role in protecting Industrial assets and processed from being tampered by attackers. Recent years witness the fast development of ICS technology. However there are still shortage of techniques and measures to verify the effectiveness of ICS approaches. In this paper, we propose a verification framework named vICS, for security measures in industrial environments. vICS does not requires installing any agent in industrial environments, and could be viewed as a non-intrusive way. We use vICS to evaluate the effectiveness of classic ICS techniques and measures through several experiments. The results shown that vICS provide an feasible solution for verifying the effectiveness of classic ICS techniques and measures for industrial environments.
