Quickdraw Security Events

From SCADApedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Quickdraw is an application that passively monitors traffic to and from PLC's and other field devices, identifies security events, extracts parameters and creates the security event, and sends the security event to a log server, historian, SEM or other log aggregation server. It helps address the logging deficiency in field devices. Quickdraw was developed under a DHS S&T funded research contract.

More than fifty security events have been defined and are supported by the Quickdraw application. This page lists and defines the Quickdraw security events.

Security Event Definition

The table below defines the security events supported by Quickdraw. Each field device then will support a subset of these security events. There are a variety of reasons that a security event is not be supported by the field device. The field device may not support the feature the security event would record such as user login, lock PLC or firmware change. In other cases the protocol the field device uses may not support the feature. As field devices add security features more of the security events will become applicable.
