An Intelligent Security Defensive Model of SCADA Based on Multi-Agent in Oil and Gas Fields

Abstract

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system in the modern industrial automation control network is facing an increasing number of serious security threats. In order to meet the security defense requirements of oil and gas SCADA system, an intelligent security defense model based on multi-agent was designed by analyzing the security risks in oil and gas SCADA system and combining the advantages of multi-agent technology in distributed intrusion detection system. First, the whole structure of this model was divided into three layers: monitoring layer, decision layer and control layer. Then, the defense model was verified by C4.5 decision tree algorithm, and obtained a good result. Finally, the security defense prototype system of large-scale oil and gas SCADA system based on this model was realized. Results demonstrate that the application of multi-agent technology in the security defense of oil and gas SCADA system can achieve more comprehensive defense, more accurate detection, which can handle large-scale distributed attacks and improve the robustness and stability of security defenses. This study makes full use of the multi-agent architecture and has the advantage of accurate detection, high detection efficiency and timely response.
