OPC UA security analysis
This paper discusses our project that involved searching for vulnerabilities in implementations of the OPC UA protocol. In publishing this material, we hope to draw the attention of vendors that develop software for industrial automation systems and the industrial internet of things to problems associated with using such widely available technologies, which turned out to be quite common.

A silver bullet for the attacker. A study into the security of hardware license tokens
In the past years, the problem of vulnerabilities in industrial automation systems has been becoming increasingly important. The fact that industrial control systems have been developing in parallel with IT systems, relatively independently and often without regard for modern secure coding practices is probably the main source of ICS security problems.

MLAD: Machine Learning for Anomaly Detection
Modern industrial control systems (ICS) are cyber-physical systems that include IT infrastructure and operational technologies or OT infrastructure. Attacks on OT pose the greatest danger and are very difficult to detect. The MLAD (Machine Learning for Anomaly Detection) technology is designed to protect OT.
