Upgradation in Cyber Security Technologies to Protect SCADA Systems

Around 225,000 connections were unplugged from electricity grid in Ukraine by hackers. This gained attention of cybersecurity experts all over the globe and marked as the first cyber-takedown of a power system. Experts commented that this was not any other attack and active preventive measures need to be taken to avoid these attacks & thwarts in future. They also emphasized on taking security measures rather than only providing firewalls to control systems. Eric Byres, a security consultant and major contributor in commercialization of firewalls for industrial control system said, “It’s really brought the whole thing to a head and made people aware that this isn’t just chatter about the sky falling.”

North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC), who has an authority to set standards for power grid, is trying to stop these attacks by upgrading cybersecurity codes. These codes need network monitoring and other defense techniques to stop attacks, such as disconnection in Ukraine. An extensive and rapid utilization of these codes would help in preventing attacks from hackers. Reports from U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) and other researchers indicate that that the attack in Ukraine was sustained and had different prongs. Byres said, “These attackers are not blindly hacking away. They’re doing their research.” The attack also made adverse and long-lasting effects on local utilities, or oblenergos. According to ICS-CERT’s February bulletin, “While power has been restored, all the impacted oblenergos continue to run under constrained operations.”

Robert Lee, a former cyberwarfare operations officer, U.S. Air Force, commented, “Everything about this attack was repeatable in the United States.” He visited Ukraine for assessment of the December attack. He added, “While their security wasn’t awesome, it definitely wasn’t below the [industry] standards.” Currently, Lee is the CEO of San Antonio-based firm, Dragos Security, which is a leading developer of cybersecurity tools for SCADA systems.

Experts suggest development of an active approach that would detect and prevent non-permissible intrusions. DNP3 communication is ubiquitous in power grids of North America. Grids are becoming smarter by connecting interactive devices, such as smart meters, rooftop solar installations, electric car chargers, and other smart devices. These are connected to protect grids from attackers and manage power flows.

Connecting smarter devices was common in IT sector, but its use is increasing in SCADA systems over the past decade. Eric Byres developed Tofino Industrial Security Solution, which was one of the first SCADA traffic checkers in 2005 and released it in 2008. He developed it in the British Columbia Institute of Technology’s Critical Infrastructure Security Centre, Burnaby. Tofino was acquired by Belden, a St. Louis–based networking firm. “It’s not just looking at what protocols are allowed but what’s the exact functionality of that message,” explained Byres. “For example, will it just read the status of a protection relay, or completely reprogram the device? Obviously, there is a big difference between those two actions when it comes to security.”

Every SCADA data packet that crosses a network is checked for the validity and then allowed to pass through. Though this approach needed further development, but it set up a base for using complex binary messages for DNP3 protocol. An extension of Snort, an intrusion- detection system was developed in 2012. Recent advancements have enabled detection of peculiarities in SCADA traffic patterns with the help of visualization tools.

Analysts studying the industry have revealed a comprehensive information about changing industry trends and precise statistics in research reports. Recently, Big Market Research has added a report titled, “Global Cyber Security Industry 2016 Deep Market Research Report.” The report provides an extensive analysis of classifications, recent trends, and industry chain structure. Furthermore, it helps businesses and investors by covering significant market statistics of capacity, production, & revenue analysis of manufacturers, manufacturing cost structure, and new project feasibility analysis.

India Water Purifier Market Outlook, 2021 - Big Market Research

During the past decade, the Indian population has witnessed considerable improvement in accessing drinking water. However, the poor quality of the water supplied by the civic authorities still remains a huge challenge. Rising awareness about water-borne diseases, rising disposable income, mounting urbanization and low penetration level are exceedingly contributing to the demand for water purifiers in India. The market for water purifier in India is changing at a brisk rate. Technological advancements and various innovations in the country as well as the competitive pressures have been significantly changing the market.
According to India Water Purifier Market Outlook, 2021, Indias water purifier market was growing with a CAGR of 21.24% over last five years. Based on technology, the market is segmented into RO, UV and offline water purifiers. As per sales revenues, RO water purifiers dominated the market in 2014, followed by UV filters and then gravity based offline purifiers. RO water purifiers are the costliest among all the three technologies; however rising awareness about its advantage over other purifiers are making it increasingly popular. For a long period Eureka Forbes had dominated the RO category but Kent has now overtaken the leading position. However, both the companies are at striking distance and trying hard to stay ahead by innovating and promising good after sales service. On the other hand, water purifiers with UV technology are fast declining due to less innovation.
Offline water purifiers, which are the non-electrical water purifiers and require no electricity to pure the water, are expected to grow at a very rapid pace. Offline water purifiers are the future of industry with huge potential, given the crippling power shortage that most of India experiences. The growth of the offline segment will largely be attributed to low pricing and enhanced penetration across rural population and households. Moreover, this segment is a key focus area for water purifier manufacturers, due to the large target customer base it offers. Presently a combination of UV, ultrafiltration (UF) and RO systems are also available in the market.
Apart from organized sector, unorganized players also have a considerable market share in the industry. Presence of unorganized sector tends to be more in RO and UV category rather than offline category. However, it is impossible for unorganized players to invest in R&D activities and compete with large players on innovation; hence unorganized sector is expected to decline in the next few years. Based on region, northern India is of great importance to domestic water purifier manufacturers as it accounts for the highest revenues sales, followed by Western and Sothern India. Maharashtra is reported to have the highest water purifier sales in the country followed by Delhi. There is huge potential for the market, both in rural and urban India. In fact, there has been an increasing trend of companies focusing on rural India, particularly with the low cost water purifiers.
