Introduction 1.1 Context The ‘Clean Energy for all Europeans’-package acknowledges the importance of cybersecurity for the energy sector, and the need to duly assess cyber-risks and their possible impact on the security of supply. In particular, the Electricity Regulation1 proposes the adoption of sector-specific rules for cyber security aspects of cross-border electricity flows, on common minimum requirements, planning, monitoring, reporting and crisis management in the following referred to as “Network Code on cybersecurity”. The working group on cybersecurity originated from the Commission Communication ‘Clean Energy for All Europeans’ (COM/2016/0860 final) announcing the set-up of a group in spring 2017 and the delivery of final results by the end of 2018. This Communication emphasizes that ensuring

  • Security Operations and Incident Management Knowledge Area (Draft for Comment)
    SECURITY OPERATIONS AND INCIDENT MANAGEMENT KNOWLEDGE AREA (DRAFT FOR COMMENT) AUTHOR: Hervé Debar – Telecom SudParis EDITOR: Howard Chivers – University of York REVIEWERS: Douglas Weimer – RHEA Group Magnus Almgren – Chalmers University of Technology Marc Dacier – EURECOM Sushil Jajodia – George Mason University © Crown Copyright, The National Cyber Security Centre 2018. Security Operations and Incident Management Hervé Debar September 2018 INTRODUCTION The roots of Security Operations and Incident Management (SOIM) can be traced to the original report by James Anderson [5] in 1981. This report theorises that full protection of the information and communication infrastructure is impossible. From a technical perspective, it would require complete and ubiquitous control and certification, which would block or limit usefulness and usability. From an economic perspective, the cost of protection measures and the loss related to limited use effectively require an equilibrium between openness and protection, generally in favour of openness. From there on, the report promotes the use of detection techniques to complement protection. The first ten years afterwards saw the development of the original theory of intrusion detection by Denning [18], which still forms the theoretical basis of most of the work detailed in this ka. Security Operations and Incident Management can be seen as an application and automation of the Monitor Analyze Plan Execute - Knowledge (MAPE-K) autonomic computing loop to cybersecu- rity [30], even if this loop was defined later than the initial developments of SOIM. Autonomic com- puting aims to adapt ICT systems to changing operating conditions. The loop, described in figure 1, is driven by events that provide information about the current behaviour of the system.

Guster Jim Q. Chen 2 Abstract Sharing Threat Intelligence is now one of the biggest trends in cyber security industry. Today, no one can deny the necessity for information sharing to fight the cyber battle. The massive production of raw and redundant data coupled with the increasingly innovative attack vectors of the perpetrators demands an ecosystem to scrutinize the information, detect and react to take a defensive stance.
