Cable Modem Premises- based AccessNetworks LAN Transit Net LAN LAN Private Peering Premises- based Core Networks Transit Net WLAN WLAN NAP Analog WLAN Transit Net Public Peering DSLAM Operator- based RAS Regional Wireline Regional Cell H.323 Data Cell Data H.323 Cell PSTN Voice Voice The Current Internet: Connectivity and Processing

  4. The Spread of the Sapphire/Slammer SQL Worm

  5. Evolution of Botnets • Motivation change in computer hacking • Vandalism  Financial gains • Loss of $67.2 billion (2006 figure)

  6. Botnet Architecture Botmaster Bot Bot Bot Recruiting Recruiting Recruiting

  7. Attack Behaviors • Stealing personal information • Keylogger and Network sniffer used on compromised systems to spy on users and compile personal information • Phishing and spam proxy • Aggregated computing power and proxy capability allow spammers to impact larger groups without being traced. • Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) • Impair or eliminate availability of a network to extort or disrupt business

  8. Raw Materials Goods (Re)Application Goal Market S S S Buy, Sell, & Trade eCrime Market Operation

  9. Sensitive Data and Market Significance Credit Card #s SSNs Bank Account #s Percentage of Labeled Data Sensitive Data Type

  10. Cyber spies have penetrated the U.S. electrical grid and left behind software programs that could be used to disrupt the system. • Transportation systems (air, truck, bus) the next? • Next generation 9/11 without suicide bombers!

  11. Security Regulations • Business and security compliance is top-of-mind for executives • Protecting sensitive business & customer data is the key focus of regulatory compliance requirement

  12. Business Impact of Lack of Compliance • Direct financial ramifications • FTC fines • Compensation payout to customers • Cost of external security audits • Lost customer confidence • Research shows substantial indirect costs associated with brand damage

  13. Do We Have Any Security Regulations for Transportation Systems? • E.g., any FAA rules?

  14. Transportation Control System Management & Diagnosis • Many applications & services • Traffic monitoring, authentication, command & control, etc. • Critical for running business • Large enterprise networks • 1,000s network applications • 1,000s staffs in IT support • $$ millions of dollars spent every year
