Abstract

A significant challenge for governments around the globe is the need to improve the level of awareness for citizens and businesses about the threats that exist in cyberspace. The arrival of new information technologies has resulted in different types of criminal activities, which previously did not exist, with the potential to cause extensive damage. Given the fact that the Internet is boundary-less, it makes it difficult to identify where attacks originate from and how to counter them. The only solution is to improve the level of support for security systems and evolve the defences against cyber-attacks. This project supports the development of critical infrastructure security research, in the fight against a growing threat from the digital domain. However, the real-world evaluation of emerging security systems for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems is impractical. The research project furthers the knowledge and understanding of Information Systems; specifically acting as a facilitator for cyber-security research. In this paper, the construction of a testbed and datasets for cyber-security and critical infrastructure research are presented.
