Risk Management in Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) for Critical Infrastructure in the Utility Industry

Author(s) Suchismita Chatterjee

Abstract The increasing complexity of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) poses significant risks to the security of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, particularly within critical infrastructure sectors like oil and gas. These systems are essential for operational continuity and safety, making them prime targets for cyber attackers seeking to disrupt services. As such, it is crucial to implement robust cybersecurity risk management frameworks in alignment with guidelines from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This paper investigates vulnerabilities within SCADA systems, evaluates the effectiveness of existing regulatory frameworks, and explores strategies to enhance resilience against APTs. By analyzing the interplay between regulatory compliance and technological advancements, the article aims to provide valuable insights for strengthening the security of critical infrastructure in the face of escalating cyber threats.
