Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of substation security, and in particular relates to a substation network security defense system based on artificial intelligence. Background Art
[0002] Cybersecurity has become an important part of protecting critical infrastructure such as substations. Substation network systems usually include control centers, servers, workstations, and field devices, which are interconnected through communication networks to achieve data exchange and remote monitoring. However, this interconnectivity also exposes substation networks to a variety of external and internal threats, such as malware attacks, unauthorized access, and system configuration flaws.
[0003] Traditional substation network security operations mainly rely on passive defense technologies such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS) and antivirus software. Although these methods can identify and intercept known attack patterns to a certain extent, they are often unable to cope with increasingly complex security threats, zero-day vulnerabilities and persistent threat (APT) attacks. In addition, due to the particularity and importance of substation networks, once they are seriously attacked, it may cause unstable power grid operation or even large-scale power outages, causing significant social impact and economic losses.
[0004] Therefore, in order to meet these challenges, it is necessary to provide a more advanced, proactive and comprehensive network security protection system to monitor network activities in real time, analyze potential risks, predict unknown attacks, automatically respond to security incidents, and be able to adapt to the real-time changing security environment while meeting industry standards and regulatory requirements to ensure that substations can maintain safe and stable operation in the face of various network threats.

Malicious code is run in the sandbox, and various monitoring tools are used to track and record the behavioral characteristics of the code, and any network traffic and file samples generated when the code is running are captured to facilitate further in-depth analysis.

[0044] The data backup and recovery module further includes a regular backup submodule and a disaster recovery submodule;
[0045] The regular backup submodule is used to ensure that the key data in the substation network security system is automatically backed up according to a predefined plan. First, the data type and storage location to be backed up are determined, and then a specific backup plan is formulated. When the planned time arrives, the backup operation is automatically executed to copy the selected data to a secure storage medium. After the backup is completed, the integrity and recoverability of the backup data are verified to ensure that it can be restored smoothly when needed.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0055] Figure 1 It is a module diagram of the substation network security defense system based on artificial intelligence in the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0056] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0057] The embodiments described in this application are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the spirit of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0058] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention proposes a substation network security defense system based on artificial intelligence, which realizes real-time threat monitoring and effective prevention in the substation network environment, integrates data analysis and machine learning algorithms in the network security strategy, improves the detection capability of unknown attacks and zero-day vulnerabilities, ensures that the security configuration, operation and behavior of the substation network system meet industry security standards and best practices, and meet regulatory requirements; quickly restores key data and services in the event of a catastrophic event, minimizes system downtime, and maintains business continuity; enhances the adaptive capability of the existing security system so that it can automatically optimize security operations based on real-time changing threat intelligence and network behavior; provides complete security event tracing and analysis capabilities through a detailed audit record and log management system, supports post-investigation and continuous security improvement; provides intuitive data visualization through a user-friendly interface, so that non-professionals can easily understand complex network security situations; establishes a comprehensive notification and alarm mechanism to ensure that when an important security incident is detected, relevant personnel can be notified and take action in a timely manner, realizing hierarchical, intelligent and proactive protection of the substation network, and significantly enhancing the security, stability and resilience of the network. At the same time, it optimizes the operation and maintenance process, reduces the complexity and cost of safety management, and provides strong technical support and guarantee for the safe and reliable operation of the power grid.
[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the substation network security defense system based on artificial intelligence of the present invention includes:
[0060] Data collection module, used to collect traffic data, log information, threat intelligence and related data of the substation network;
[0061] An anomaly detection module is used to apply machine learning and deep learning algorithms to automatically identify abnormal patterns and potential intrusion behaviors in the substation network traffic. The anomaly detection module further includes a traffic analysis submodule and a behavior analysis submodule. The traffic analysis submodule collects raw traffic data from the data collection module in real time, preprocesses the data to remove noise, and then classifies the cleaned data into normal or abnormal traffic. Then, key traffic features are extracted and the features are deeply analyzed using machine learning algorithms to identify abnormal behaviors that do not match the regular pattern, which may indicate unauthorized access or an ongoing attack. When an anomaly is detected, the submodule immediately triggers an alarm and performs a response action in accordance with a predefined security protocol, such as blocking malicious communications. In addition, the traffic analysis submodule optimizes its detection capabilities through monitoring and feedback mechanisms in real time, so as to more effectively adapt to new threats and changing network environments. Deploy high-bandwidth network probes with at least 20Gbps processing power, and deep packet inspection (DPI) devices that support at least 10Gbps traffic decoding capabilities. These devices are configured to adaptively adjust, continuously monitor data exchanges inside and outside the substation through TCP session reconstruction, application layer data filtering, and traffic trend analysis, fully monitor all network traffic in and out of the data center, and export traffic data in real time through NetFlow or IPFIX protocol to achieve comprehensive visibility of the substation network, and can capture and record all network activities to provide immediate alerts to potential threats and conduct further analysis. The behavior analysis submodule is used to monitor the behavior of network entities to identify activities that do not match normal behavior patterns. Utilize multi-factor authentication MF and biometric security: For all users who access control systems and sensitive data, in addition to traditional password authentication, a multi-factor authentication solution based on the FIDO standard is required, combined with biometric technologies such as fingerprint or facial recognition, such as fingerprint scanning, facial recognition or iris scanning, to enhance the security of identity authentication and prevent unauthorized access. First, a baseline pattern of normal behavior is established to capture activity data in the network in real time, such as user login habits, device access frequency, service usage, etc.; then, by applying machine learning algorithms, such as behavior modeling and anomaly scoring, the actual behavior is compared and analyzed to identify activities that deviate from the predefined pattern. Once potential abnormal behavior is detected, this submodule will trigger an alarm and assist in performing appropriate response actions, such as secondary verification, session termination, or initiating further security investigation. In addition, as new data is collected in real time, the behavior analysis submodule continuously updates and refines normal behavior patterns to improve detection accuracy and adaptability; a series of advanced machine learning algorithms are used to establish a baseline for normal network behavior and identify abnormal activities that deviate from the normal pattern. First, through behavioral modeling technology, clustering algorithms (K-means, DBSCAN), the normal pattern of user or system behavior is constructed.Using the anomaly scoring mechanism, Isolation Forest, an anomaly score is assigned to each behavior to quantify its degree of deviation from normal behavior. The time series analysis algorithm, Autoregressive Model (AR), is applied to analyze behavioral data that changes over time to detect abnormal fluctuations. In some scenarios, single-class anomaly detection algorithms such as One-ClassSVM are used to identify anomalies from unlabeled data. At the same time, the chi-square test is used to determine whether individual observations are abnormal. Using the ensemble learning method, Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT), an ensemble of multiple weak prediction models is constructed to improve the performance of anomaly detection. The combined use of these algorithms enables the behavior analysis submodule to comprehensively and accurately monitor network behavior and promptly detect potential security threats. Through continuous model training and optimization, the behavior analysis submodule can adapt to the ever-changing network environment and maintain its efficient anomaly detection capabilities.
[0062] The threat intelligence analysis module is used to collect network threat intelligence data, parse and process the network threat intelligence data, and identify potential threats and vulnerability information. The threat intelligence analysis module further includes an intelligence collection submodule and a data analysis submodule. The intelligence collection submodule is used to automatically collect threat intelligence from multiple sources to support the threat analysis and response actions of the system. First, connections are established with multiple intelligence channels, including open source intelligence platforms, commercial security service providers, peer networks, and public security organizations; then, all channels are continuously monitored to obtain real-time information about newly generated threats, vulnerability disclosures, attack patterns, and malware activities. The collected intelligence is then transmitted to the system for further processing and analysis, such as deduplication, formatting, and storage to ensure the accuracy and accessibility of the information. In addition, the collected intelligence is preliminarily evaluated to determine its relevance and reliability, laying the foundation for the next step of in-depth analysis. Through this automated and dynamic information collection process, the intelligence collection submodule can provide timely and comprehensive external threat intelligence support for the substation network security defense system. The data analysis submodule is used to deeply analyze and process the threat intelligence gathered by the intelligence collection submodule, so as to identify potential attack vectors and security threats. The workflow starts with the preprocessing of the raw intelligence data, including cleaning, normalization and classification, to ensure data quality. Then, various analysis techniques, such as natural language processing (NLP) and pattern recognition, are used to extract key information from text, image or sound intelligence, such as the identity of the attacker, the technology used, the affected systems, and the time and place of the attack.
[0063] In a preferred embodiment, the threat intelligence analysis module applies natural language processing (NLP) and pattern recognition techniques to extract key information:
[0064] The natural language processing (NLP) includes text classification, sentiment analysis, and named entity recognition (NER) tasks.
[0065] The sentiment analysis uses a logistic regression model: Among them, p is the probability of positive sentiment, β is the model parameter, and x is the text feature.
[0066] The named entity recognition (NER) is based on the conditional random field CRF model, and its formula is: In the formula: P(Y|O) represents the conditional probability of the label sequence Y given the observation sequence O. Z(O) is the normalization factor (partition function) used to ensure that the sum of the probabilities is 1; is the weight of the feature function associated with a single label, corresponding to observation o i and label y i ; is the weight of the feature function associated with the label pair, corresponding to the adjacent observation o i , o i+1 and label pair y i ,y i+1 ; N is the length of the sequence.
[0067] The pattern recognition uses support vector machine (SVM) for image classification:
[0068]
[0069] Among them, w and b are model parameters, x i is the eigenvector, y i is a label, i is a slack variable.
[0070] The extracted information is compared with the existing threat database to confirm whether the new intelligence is a variant of a known threat or a completely new threat. Finally, the data analysis submodule converts the processed data into feasible security indicators and warnings for the network security team to evaluate and take corresponding defensive actions. Through this process, the data analysis submodule is able to convert the original threat intelligence into actually usable intelligence assets to ensure the security of the substation network; the analysis results of the threat intelligence analysis module are used to further feed back to the data collection module to guide it to optimize the data collection strategy, ensure that the system can more accurately capture data indicating threats, and improve the defense capabilities against complex network threats;
[0071] The intelligent security monitoring and response module is used to collect log and event data from substation network devices and systems, evaluate the network security status of the substation, and automatically trigger corresponding defense actions based on the network security status. The intelligent security monitoring and response module further includes a real-time monitoring submodule and a response coordination submodule. The real-time monitoring submodule, as the core of the intelligent security monitoring and response system, is used to observe network activities in real time to quickly identify potential threats or violations. Its workflow first collects raw log and event data from network devices and systems, and then analyzes the data in real time to find abnormal patterns, suspicious behaviors or unauthorized access attempts. By applying detection algorithms, such as rule engines and abnormal behavior detection, important security indicators are accurately identified in hundreds of millions of events. The rule engine evaluates network events in real time through a series of preset logical rules, such as conditional statements IF (A AND B) THEN C, where A and B represent event attributes and C represents the triggered action. Once a pattern that meets the rules is detected, the rule engine immediately initiates the predetermined response measures to ensure a rapid response to known threats. At the same time, the abnormal behavior detection algorithm uses statistical and machine learning techniques to conduct in-depth analysis of network behavior. For example, using threshold-based methods, by setting limits on specific indicators, such as IF X>Threshold THEN Alert, where X is the observed network behavior indicator and Threshold is the upper limit of the predetermined normal behavior range. In addition, clustering algorithms such as K-means or DBSCAN optimize the objective function Where: J is the objective function to be minimized, which represents the total squared error. k is the number of clusters. x is the data point. S i is the set of points in the ith cluster. i is the center of the ith cluster. i is the distance from data point x to cluster center μ i The Euclidean distance of . This method realizes the pattern recognition of network behavior and the detection of abnormal points. Based on the long short-term memory network (LSTM), h t =LSTM(h t-1 , x t ) to learn the temporal dependency of sequence data, where h t is the hidden state at time step t, x tis input to identify complex network behavior patterns. Through the combination of these algorithms, the ability to identify known attack patterns is improved, and the prediction and defense of unknown threats are enhanced. Once a possible security incident is discovered, the predefined response process is immediately triggered, including sending an alert to the security team, generating a detailed incident report, and initiating corresponding mitigation actions. The real-time monitoring submodule integrates security event log collection, event correlation analysis, and real-time alarm functions, and deploys a security event management system with at least 100TB storage capacity and the ability to process 100,000 events per second. The system provides key performance indicators (KPIs) and key security indicators (KSIs), and pushes key alerts via email, SMS or mobile applications. It achieves rapid response and effective management of security incidents, and also supports complex event processing (CEP) and security orchestration automated response (SOAR) functions to improve event processing efficiency. In addition, the real-time monitoring submodule further feeds back the detection results to the system to continuously optimize the detection strategy and response mechanism to ensure that network security protection can keep pace with the times. Through the above real-time monitoring, the security status of the substation network is strictly controlled. The response coordination submodule is used to quickly coordinate and execute various emergency actions when potential threats are detected. The specific workflow is as follows: Once abnormal behavior or potential threats are identified by the real-time monitoring submodule, the pre-set emergency plan is immediately initiated. First, try to isolate the affected system to prevent the threat from spreading to other parts of the network. Then, take action to block communications with malicious domains or IP addresses to prevent attacks. At the same time, it ensures that the details of relevant security incidents are recorded and notified to the network security team through designated channels such as email, SMS or visual dashboards. In addition, the response coordination submodule also interacts with other security systems, such as firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, etc., to collaboratively complete more complex response tasks. The network is divided into multiple security areas through physical or virtual LAN network segmentation technology, and micro-isolation strategies are implemented to limit cross-regional access. Reduce the attack surface and improve the overall security of the network. Through this efficient and orderly automated response mechanism, the response coordination submodule ensures that the substation network can quickly respond to various security threats and minimize potential damage;
[0072] The malicious code detection module is used to detect, analyze and isolate malware by checking suspicious files and simulating the execution of suspicious codes. The malicious code detection module further includes a static analysis submodule and a dynamic analysis submodule. The static analysis submodule is used to perform non-runtime checks on suspicious files to identify potential malware. Its workflow is to first receive suspicious file samples from different parts of the network. Then, a variety of static analysis techniques are used to analyze the received samples, including checking the binary structure of the file, decompiling the code to view its logic, and analyzing the hash value and digital signature of the file to confirm its known properties. Binary analysis tools are used to parse the format and structure of the file, such as the executable file of the PE (Portable Executable) structure on the Windows system. By viewing the file header, section table, import table and export table, etc., the composition and function of the program can be understood. Use a decompiler (such as IDA Pro, Ghidra) to convert the binary code into assembly language or pseudocode, or even high-level language code. By analyzing the decompiled code, security analysts can manually check the logic of the program and look for signs of malicious behavior, such as abuse of system calls or suspicious API call sequences. Calculate the hash value of the file (such as MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256) to determine the integrity and identification of the file. By comparing with the hash value database of known malware, you can quickly identify whether it is a known malicious sample. Check whether the file is accompanied by a valid digital signature and whether the signature is issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA). Use a formula to verify the signature. In the RSA signature scheme, verify Where y is the digital signature, d is the public key exponent of the receiver, x is the hash value of the original message, e is the private key exponent of the sender, and n is the modulus. Heuristic analysis techniques are applied to identify files that do not directly match known malware but may exhibit malicious behavior. This may include analyzing the strings contained in the file, the API functions called, the import and export behavior of the file, etc. Static analysis may be used in conjunction with a sandbox environment to observe the behavior of the file in a controlled environment to further verify its security. The above techniques are integrated into an automated static analysis platform to enable rapid analysis of a large number of suspicious files. Through these methods, the possible behavior and intention of the file can be evaluated without actually executing the file. Once malicious features are identified or matched with samples in a known malware library, they will be marked as high risk and notified to the security team for processing. In addition, static analysis results also help update and optimize malware detection rules and defense mechanisms. Through this comprehensive static analysis process, the substation network security system can effectively identify and isolate malware to prevent it from causing damage to the network. The dynamic analysis submodule is used to execute malicious code in a controlled and isolated environment so that its behavior can be monitored and analyzed in real time. Its workflow includes first preparing a safe sandbox environment, which is a closed test space that simulates the real system environment and is used to execute suspicious files without affecting the actual production network. Then, the malicious code is run in the sandbox, while various monitoring tools are used to track and record the behavioral characteristics of the code, such as network communication, file operations, registry changes, process creation, etc. In addition, the dynamic analysis submodule also captures any network traffic and file samples generated when the code is running, which facilitates further in-depth analysis.

[0073] The intelligent security prediction module is used to predict possible future network security events and provide early warning prompts based on the analysis of time series data and machine learning algorithms. The intelligent security prediction module further includes a time series analysis submodule and a machine learning prediction submodule. The time series analysis submodule is used to process and analyze the time series data of security events in order to identify periodic patterns, long-term trends, and abnormal fluctuations therein. Its workflow includes using a historical data set containing at least 180 days of network traffic logs to collect timestamp data in security event logs, such as the time, duration, and frequency of events. Then, using time series analysis algorithms such as autoregressive models (AR), moving average models (MA), seasonal decomposition, and exponential smoothing (Holt-Winters), the data is modeled and key features are extracted. These algorithms detect regular behaviors in the data, such as regular network traffic peaks or frequent security events in a specific time period. If the data is found to deviate from the normal pattern or there is an inconspicuous trend change, the time series analysis submodule will issue an early warning to alert the network security team of potential risks or attack activities. In addition, the analysis results are also used to guide the adjustment and optimization of network security protection actions, such as strengthening monitoring efforts during specific time periods or deploying preventive security strategies. By continuously monitoring time series data, an effective tool is provided for the substation network security defense system to predict and prevent possible security threats in the future. The machine learning prediction submodule analyzes historical and real-time data by applying machine learning algorithms to provide predictions of future threats for the substation network security system. It first collects a large amount of network behavior data and security event records, and then uses data preprocessing technology to construct a feature set suitable for machine learning. With the help of various algorithms such as decision trees, random forests, artificial neural networks (ANN), support vector machines (SVM) and deep learning, the model is trained to discover patterns and abnormal behaviors in the data, identify security threat patterns and predict future attack trends, and realize an intelligent threat warning system. After rigorous evaluation and adjustment, these models are used to analyze historical and real-time network data to identify and warn potential security risks, and pass intelligence to the response system to take corresponding actions. With the real-time access of new data and the cycle of learning feedback, the prediction submodule continues to improve its accuracy and response speed, making network security defense more proactive and accurate.

[0077] The adaptive security policy module is used to analyze the current network status and historical security data, determine the dynamic changes of the substation network environment, and automatically adjust or update the optimal security policy according to the dynamic changes of the network environment.

The linkage between security events and policy adjustments is realized, and the response time does not exceed 5 minutes. Improve the flexibility and response speed of network security policies. The adaptive security policy module further includes a policy generation submodule and a policy optimization submodule. The policy generation submodule uses data analysis and pattern recognition algorithms to analyze the current network status and historical security data, evaluate the effectiveness of existing security operations, and recommend adjustments or updates to the optimal security policy based on this information. The data analysis and pattern recognition algorithms first collect key data from multiple nodes of the substation network through data collection and integration. Subsequently, in the data preprocessing stage, data cleaning and normalization are performed, using the minimum-maximum normalization formula To unify the data format and ensure the accuracy of analysis. Feature engineering further extracts and selects key features related to security, and uses statistical measures such as mutual information to evaluate the effectiveness of features. The K-means clustering algorithm is used to minimize the reconstruction error. To identify the inherent patterns in the data, algorithms such as One-Class SVM are used to identify abnormal points that deviate from the normal pattern. ci is the cluster center, x i Each data point represents an instance in the network behavior data, which may include features such as timestamp, traffic size, source address, and destination address.
[0078] On this basis, the logistic regression machine learning model is used to Where: P(y=1|x) is the probability that an event belongs to category 1 (for example, representing a security threat) given the feature vector x. w is the weight vector. b is the bias term. x is the feature vector that contains all the features used for prediction. The loss function for logistic regression usually uses logarithmic loss (also called cross-extraction loss), which is formulated as: Where: n is the number of samples. i is the actual label of the i-th sample. iis the feature vector of the i-th sample. The gradient descent algorithm is used to minimize the loss function L by iteratively updating the weight w and bias b. The update rule is: Among them: α is the learning rate, which controls the learning step size. and are the partial derivatives of the loss function with respect to weights and biases, respectively. The generation and optimization of security policies is achieved by adjusting the model parameters (weights and biases) to minimize the loss of security events. This can be achieved through a logistic regression model and a gradient descent algorithm, where the update of the model parameters aims to improve the accuracy of identifying security threats. The automated tool deploys the updated security policy to the network and continuously monitors its effects. This ensures that the policy can adapt to changes in the network environment and continuously learn and adapt through feedback and iteration, forming a closed-loop continuous improvement process. In this way, the logistic regression model and the gradient descent algorithm together provide an intelligent security protection barrier for the substation, which can effectively predict and respond to various security threats.
