Cybersecurity Architecture for Telemetry Networks: Development of a Comprehensive Cybersecurity Framework for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and SCADA Networks
Telemetry systems in critical infrastructure face unprecedented cybersecurity challenges as industrial networks become increasingly interconnected. This paper presents an advanced telemetry security assessment framework implementing a comprehensive Industrial Control System (ICS) cybersecurity simulation platform based on the Purdue Model architecture. The platform provides realistic threat analysis capabilities and defense strategy validation for telemetry-enabled industrial environments. Our implementation features real-time network communication across six Purdue levels, cross-level attack propagation simulation, and interactive threat storytelling capabilities. A unique feature of the system is its ability to detect attacks that originate as internal lateral movements as well as those that are from internetfacing services, thereby demonstrating real-time attack scenarios. Validation of the experiment in this work is executed using two-dozens of simulated devices across all Purdue levels, with the results revealing 94% efficiency for security controls. Web platforms adopted include PostgreSQL database integration, OpenPLC runtime integration among others. Study results indicate the usefulness of cybersecurity training and implementation
