Systems Security Engineering


Book Description

With the continuing frequency, intensity, and adverse consequences of cyber-attacks, disruptions, hazards, and other threats to federal, state, and local governments, the military, businesses, and the critical infrastructure, the need for trustworthy secure systems has never been more important to the long-term economic and national security interests of the United States. Engineering-based solutions are essential to managing the growing complexity, dynamicity, and interconnectedness of today's systems, as exemplified by cyber-physical systems and systems-of-systems, including the Internet of Things. This publication addresses the engineering-driven perspective and actions necessary to develop more defensible and survivable systems, inclusive of the machine, physical, and human components that compose the systems and the capabilities and services delivered by those systems. It starts with and builds upon a set of well-established International Standards for systems and software engineering published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and infuses systems security engineering methods, practices, and techniques into those systems and software engineering activities. The objective is to address security issues from a stakeholder protection needs, concerns, and requirements perspective and to use established engineering processes to ensure that such needs, concerns, and requirements are addressed with appropriate fidelity and rigor, early and in a sustainable manner throughout the life cycle of the system.




Emerging Trends in ICT Security


Book Description

This chapter discusses the problematic intersection of risk management, mission assurance, security, and information systems through the illustrative example of the United States (US) Department of Defense (DoD). A concise history of systems security engineering (SSE) is provided with emphasis on recent revitalization efforts. Next, a review of established and emerging SSE methods, processes, and tools (MPT) frequently used to assess and manage critical shortfalls in the development and fielding of complex information-centric systems is provided. From this review, a common theme emerges—the need for a holistic multidisciplinary approach that addresses people, processes, and technologies to manage system complexity, while providing cost-effective security solutions through the use of established systems engineering techniques. Multiple cases and scenarios that promote the discovery and shared understanding of security solutions for complex systems by those trained in the art and science of systems engineering, information security, and risk management are demonstrated.




Introduction to Automotive Cybersecurity


Book Description

In today's fast-paced, interconnected world, the automotive industry stands at the forefront of technological innovation. Modern vehicles are no longer just mechanical marvels; they have evolved into rolling computers on wheels. This transformation has not only revolutionized the driving experience but has also introduced new challenges and vulnerabilities, chief among them being automotive cybersecurity. To appreciate the significance of automotive cybersecurity, one must delve into its historical context. Understanding how we arrived at this juncture is essential in navigating the complexities of safeguarding vehicles against digital threats. The Mechanical Era The roots of the automotive industry trace back to the late 19th century, with pioneers like Karl Benz and Henry Ford introducing the world to the marvels of the motor vehicle. In these early days, cars were purely mechanical contraptions, devoid of any digital components. The idea of a "car hack" was inconceivable as there were no computers or electronic control units (ECUs) to compromise. The Emergence of Digital Control The 20th century brought about a pivotal shift as automotive engineers began incorporating electronic systems for improved performance, safety, and comfort. The introduction of the Engine Control Unit (ECU) marked a significant milestone. ECUs allowed for more precise control over engine functions, optimizing fuel efficiency and emissions. As digital technology became more pervasive, ECUs multiplied and evolved to control various aspects of the vehicle, from anti-lock brakes to airbags. Vehicles were becoming increasingly reliant on software and electronic components. This shift enhanced vehicle performance and opened the door to exciting new features, but it also laid the groundwork for cybersecurity concerns. The First Signs of Vulnerability In the early 21st century, automotive cybersecurity entered the public consciousness. Researchers began uncovering vulnerabilities in vehicles' digital systems. The emergence of keyless entry systems and wireless tire pressure monitoring systems raised concerns. These convenience features, while enhancing the driving experience, also presented opportunities for malicious actors to exploit wireless communications. In 2010, researchers demonstrated the remote hijacking of a car's systems, a watershed moment that alerted the industry to the looming threats. It was a wake-up call for manufacturers to recognize that cars, like any other connected devices, could be hacked. Industry Response and Regulations As the threat landscape evolved, the automotive industry mobilized to address cybersecurity concerns. Manufacturers started implementing security measures in their vehicles, and organizations such as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) began developing standards for automotive cybersecurity. These standards aimed to guide manufacturers in securing their vehicles against potential threats. Furthermore, governments around the world recognized the importance of regulating the automotive cybersecurity domain. Laws like the U.S. SPY Car Act and the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) extended their reach to include the automotive sector, emphasizing the need for safeguarding personal data and ensuring the integrity of vehicle systems. High-Profile Incidents The journey of automotive cybersecurity is also marked by high-profile incidents that captured public attention. One such incident was the Jeep Cherokee hack in 2015. Security researchers remotely exploited a vulnerability in the vehicle's entertainment system, demonstrating the potential for catastrophic consequences. This event underscored the urgency of addressing cybersecurity in the automotive industry. Autonomous Vehicles and New Horizons The push toward autonomous vehicles adds an extra layer of complexity to automotive cybersecurity. Self-driving cars rely on an intricate network of sensors, communication systems, and AI algorithms. Ensuring the security of these systems is paramount to prevent malicious interference and potential accidents. As we approach the third decade of the 21st century, automotive cybersecurity has become a multidisciplinary field, involving software engineers, cryptographers, and ethical hackers working alongside traditional automotive engineers. It's a domain where innovation and vigilance are in constant tension, as manufacturers strive to develop cutting-edge features while protecting vehicles from cyber threats.
