DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF CYBERSECURITY FRAMEWORKS FOR INDUSTRIAL CONTROL SYSTEMS (ICS)

Abstract

Interest in the cybersecurity of industrial control systems (ICS) has increased significantly due to growing threats and vulnerabilities that can lead to serious consequences for critical infrastructure. This paper examines the main aspects of designing and developing cybersecurity frameworks aimed at protecting ICS from cyberattacks. The objectives of the study are to analyze existing security methods, identify the main vulnerabilities in ICS systems, and propose a new framework that combines best practices and modern security technologies. The methodology includes a comparative analysis of existing solutions and the development of our own framework, which will be tested on real systems. The main results of the study show that the proposed framework significantly improves the level of ICS security and can be adapted to various industries. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity in ICS and the need for further research in this area.
