- Description
- TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY Enhance Cyber-Physical Resilience with CyRARR: Automated Response and Recovery Solution An automated two-part solution that dynamically prevents cyber-attacks on sensitive control systems without human intervention. Opportunity:�� Idaho National Laboratory (INL), managed and operated by Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA), is offering the opportunity to explore a license and/or collaborative research agreement to commercialize CyRARR. This technology transfer opportunity is part of a dedicated effort to convert government-funded research into job opportunities, businesses, and, ultimately, an improved way of life for the American people. Overview:������� The nation�s critical infrastructure is vital to maintaining the health and stability of our society. These systems have been designed to cope with natural disasters and maintenance outages, but their ever-growing reliance on network connectivity introduces concerns about evolving cyber threats. Cyber-attacks have been used to successfully disable, damage, and disrupt the function of control systems. Traditional IT security devices such as firewalls and IDS have proven insufficient against advanced threats. Attacks are becoming increasingly automated to the point where a human response cannot mitigate a cyber threat. An OT system needs to have only a single vulnerability exploited by an attacker to cause severe damage. New techniques are necessary to recognize attacks at high fidelity for combating modern cyber threats. The ability to recognize and surgically respond to cyber-attacks to control systems such that the maximum level of mitigation is achieved while minimizing the impact on operations is preeminent to achieving cyber resilience. Description:��� By utilizing an intelligent cyber-sensor capable of ingesting cyber and physical data, we can leverage machine learning with situational awareness to surgically identify anomalous activity, the type of cyber-attack being launched, and the physical system affected. Using an automated response engine capable of monitoring a system's health given set standard operational levels, execute tactical actions to mitigate and prevent malicious or erroneous behavior within the operating environment. By leveraging automated responses, we further equip our system to actively handle these responses in the network to improve the speed of mitigation while maintaining system integrity. ������������������������� We can further increase the resilience of critical infrastructure by developing Cyber-physical Resilience through Automated Response and Recovery (CyRARR) system. This approach adds a layer of protection to sensitive control system environments by dynamically and automatically providing mitigation against attacks without human intervention. Benefits:��� ������ Eliminates delays associated with human response, minimizing the impact of cyber-attacks. Accelerates remedial actions in the event of a successful attack. Maximizes system recognition and mitigative response while minimizing collateral impacts on operations. Applications:�� Critical infrastructure control systems cybersecurity. Development Status:� TRL 4, system has been validated in a laboratory environment. IP Status: ������� Patent Filing No. PCT/US22/78111, �Distributed Automated Response Control Networks and Related Systems and Methods,� BEA Docket No. BA-1337. INL seeks to license the above intellectual property to a company with a demonstrated ability to bring such inventions to the market. Exclusive rights in defined fields of use may be available. Added value is placed on relationships with small businesses, start-up companies, and general entrepreneurship opportunities. Please visit Technology Deployment�s website at https://inl.gov/inl-initiatives/technology-deployment for more information on working with INL and the industrial partnering and technology transfer process. Companies interested in learning more about this licensing opportunity should contact Andrew Rankin at td@inl.gov.
