A Reference Model and a Dedicated Method in Support of Cyber-Security by Design: : Reality Check

• The electricity sector increasingly intertwines IT and the physical grid, increasing the risk of cyberattacks on this critical infrastructure. Hitherto, we have developed a modeling method to supportcyber-security by design in the electricity sector by providing (1) a multi-level reference model, (2) asemi-automated security assessment, and (3) a dedicated process model. In this paper, we focus on fourchallenges identified based on interactions with domain experts, namely: (1) automated model creation;(2) accounting for changing security requirements; (3) multi-level model management; and (4) incentivesfor modelers. These challenges are relevant to our modeling method and overlap with challenges on thepractical uptake of modeling in general.
