VillerslèsNancy, France INRIA Temps plein

Contexte et atouts du poste

Every year Inria International Relations Department has a few postdoctoral positions in order to support Inria international collaborations.

The postdoctoral contract will have a duration of 12 to 24 months. The default start date is November 1st, 2024 and not later than January, 1st 2025. The postdoctoral fellow will be recruited by one of the Inria Centres in France but it is recommended that the time is shared between France and the partner’s country (please note that the postdoctoral fellow has to start his/her contract being in France and that the visits have to respect Inria rules for missions)

Mission confiée

Candidates for postdoctoral positions are recruited after the end of their Ph.D. or after a first post-doctoral period: for the candidates who obtained their PhD in the Northern hemisphere, the date of the Ph.D. defense shall be later than September 1, 2022; in the Southern hemisphere, later than April 1, 2022.

In order to encourage mobility, the postdoctoral position must take place in a scientific environment that is truly different from the one of the Ph.D. (and, if applicable, from the position held since the Ph.D.); particular attention is thus paid to French or international candidates who obtained their doctorate abroad.

Principales activités

Resist team at Inria Nancy and the University of Abomey-Calvi (UAC) have started in 2024 an associate team focusing on the cyber security of Industrial Control Systems. These systems refer to specialized computer systems and networks that manage and control industrial processes. ICS are employed in various industries, including manufacturing, energy production, transportation, etc. They are fundamental in monitoring and regulating industrial processes, ensuring efficiency, safety, and reliability. They include Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, a type of ICS that collects data from sensors remotely and provides a human-machine interface for operators to make real-time decisions. For instance, Benin has initiated projects to modernize the Electrical grid of the ”Société Béninoise d’Energie Electrique (SBEE)”. For this, Benin has built “a National Distribution Control Center (Dispatching)” for the intelligent management of its electrical grid. Indeed, the National Distribution Control Center is a modern infrastructure based on SCADA system allowing real-time monitoring and control of the power distribution network and data collection. This SCADA Electrical grid supervision system enables the analysis of data collected on the Electrical grid to make remote decisions in real time and detect breakdowns to intervene remotely. The smart grid’s optimal and secure data management has become an significant challenge for the Beninese government. This associated team project and the research that will be conducted will be of great help to meet the challenges of securing and analyzing threats of the communication systems widely deployed in such smart grids.

A vast literature exists regarding the detection and analysis of Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) in ICS. However, these approaches are still missing enough detection accuracy and they still fail in operational environments by raising a high number of false positives. This is mainly due to the heterogeneity of these environments with a large number of legacy systems and proprietary applications. For instance, in such environments, many safety processes are deployed and may raise alerts by intrusion detection systems since they have irregular behavior when activating for instance an emergency command to stop the industrial system. In addition, false positive alerts may be issued due to device failure or dysfunction.
The objective of this Postdoc work is to build more accurate and very low positive rate detection systems for ICS while considering advanced threats that usually have low activity profiles. We will leverage Machine Learning (ML) techniques, in particular, deep learning algorithms over Graph Neural Networks (GNN) to better contextualize observed alerts and to check whether they are really due to an attack, a failure, or an unobserved legitimate action. We will rely on publicly available datasets in the literature and on our own ones for building and evaluating these models.
