Project poster

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are cyber-physical systems that allow operators to monitor and control complex industrial processes, such as those found in energy, manufacturing, and other critical infrastructures. ICS operators face numerous challenges, especially information overload, reliance on disparate information sources, and a lack of aggregated, consumable, and intuitive ways to gain insights on ICS vulnerabilities and risks to protect their assets. By leveraging thoughtful user-centric design, we worked with FireEye to create and organize a structure for meaningful relationships between vulnerabilities and assets, designing a user-friendly system to display information that is both easy to understand and actionable.
