Presentation
Automated ICS Vulnerability
We present the results of our ongoing government-funded R&D to develop an intelligent automated vulnerability assessor and penetration tester” (VAPT) for assessing cybersecurity of embedded/ICS systems. It intelligently automates software vulnerability assessment for embedded/ICS systems. The idea is to build a portable device that can be used to assess fielded ICS systems. Also it is supposed to be usable by non-experts.
For intelligent AI-driven action selection, the prototype includes an AI agent that learns over time and adapts a bit like a human vulnerability assessor or pen-tester, selecting the most promising sequence of actions.
