Mind the Gap: Missing Cyber Threat Coverage in NIDS Datasets for the Energy Sector
Tory, Adrita Rahman, Hasan, Khondokar Fida, Rahman, Md Saifur, Koroniotis, Nickolaos, Moni, Mohammad Ali
Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) developed using publicly available datasets predominantly focus on enterprise environments, raising concerns about their effectiveness for converged Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) in energy infrastructures. This study evaluates the representativeness of five widely used datasets: CIC-IDS2017, SWaT, WADI, Sherlock, and CIC-Modbus2023 against network-detectable MITRE ATT&CK techniques extracted from documented energy sector incidents. Using a structured five-step analytical approach, this article successfully developed and performed a gap analysis that identified 94 network observable techniques from an initial pool of 274 ATT&CK techniques. Sherlock dataset exhibited the highest mean coverage (0.56), followed closely by CIC-IDS2017 (0.55), while SWaT and WADI recorded the lowest scores (0.38). Combining CIC-IDS2017, Sherlock, and CIC-Modbus2023 achieved an aggregate coverage of 92%, highlighting their complementary strengths. The analysis identifies critical gaps, particularly in lateral movement and industrial protocol manipulation, providing a clear pathway for dataset enhancement and more robust NIDS evaluation in hybrid IT/OT energy environments.
Designing an Intelligent Parcel Management System using IoT & Machine Learning
Gupta, Mohit, Garg, Nitesh, Garg, Jai, Gupta, Vansh, Gautam, Devraj
Parcels delivery is a critical activity in railways. More importantly, each parcel must be thoroughly checked and sorted according to its destination address. We require an efficient and robust IoT system capable of doing all of these tasks with great precision and minimal human interaction. This paper discusses, We created a fully-fledged solution using IoT and machine learning to assist trains in performing this operation efficiently. In this study, we covered the product, which consists mostly of two phases. Scanning is the first step, followed by sorting. During the scanning process, the parcel will be passed through three scanners that will look for explosives, drugs, and any dangerous materials in the parcel and will trash it if any of the tests fail. When the scanning step is over, the parcel moves on to the sorting phase, where we use QR codes to retrieve the details of the parcels and sort them properly. The simulation of the system is done using the blender software. Our research shows that our procedure significantly improves accuracy as well as the assessment of cutting-edge technology and existing techniques.
Claris Engage 2020: IoT & Machine Learning
Imagine the capabilities of your smartphone melded into every imaginable component. The Internet of Things describes a vision of the future as much as it implies a set of underlying technologies. It envisions a situation where everything that should be connected is connected. This currently includes Ring Doorbells, 'smart' appliances, and Apple's seamless connections between watch, iPhone, and AirPods. Where IoT describes connected devices, Machine Learning is the computer intelligence that draws insights from and controls these IoT devices.
