TY  - CPAPER
AB  - Industrial Control Systems (ICS) play a critical role in controlling industrialprocesses. Wide use of modern IT technologies enables cyber attacks todisrupt the operation of ICS. Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) are the mostthreatening attacks to ICS due to their long persistence and destructive cyberphysicaleffects to ICS. This paper considers a simulation of attackers and defendersof an ICS, where the defender must consider the cost-efficiency of implementingdefensive measures within the system in order to create an optimaldefense. The aim is to identify the appropriate deployment of a specific defensivestrategy, such as defense-in-depth or critical component defense. The problemis represented as a strategic competitive optimisation problem, which is solvedusing a co-evolutionary particle swarm optimisation algorithm. Through the developmentof optimal defense strategy, it is possible to identify when each specificdefensive strategies is most appropriate; where the optimal defensive strategy dependson the resources available and the relative effectiveness of those resources.
