Indian power grid 'paralysis' sounds alarm: Sinsegye builds' digital Great Wall' of industrial control systems

India Pakistan conflict triggers power grid security crisis

——The hidden dangers of industrial safety and the crisis of national security

While the smoke of gunpowder in the South Asian subcontinent has not yet dissipated, a special 'war' is drawing global attention - the suspected cyber attack on India's power grid has exposed fatal flaws in critical infrastructure. Despite the doubts surrounding the claim of a 70% power outage, the fact that Schneider PLC vulnerability CVE-224-31207 was precisely exploited has sounded the highest level of alarm for global industrial control system security.

In this invisible war, Sinsegye's iComputer built an autonomous and controllable "Digital Great Wall" with three core defense lines.

Zero day vulnerability: the fatal weakness of global industrial control systems

The attacker quickly infiltrated the power grid system through an unrepaired industrial control device vulnerability, causing 70% of the power grid to be paralyzed. In this situation, the power grid paralysis is not simply a cyber attack, but a deep penetration of the national energy lifeline, and similar attacks pose a serious threat to the global industrial control system (ICS).

With the continuous advancement of global informatization and intelligence, industrial control systems of key infrastructure such as power grids have become potential targets for cyber attacks. This attack exploited an unrepaired zero day vulnerability in the Indian power grid, rapidly infiltrating the power system and controlling and disrupting its normal operation. Whether it is the exploitation of zero day vulnerabilities or continuous attacks on systems, this reveals a serious problem with modern industrial control equipment: most countries' industrial control equipment and systems, especially those directly related to national infrastructure, still have obvious blind spots in terms of security.

With the increasing complexity and sophistication of attack methods, many critical infrastructure protection measures have not kept up with the pace of technological development. This is not only a hidden danger for India, but also a common problem faced by many countries and regions around the world. The industrial control systems in important fields such as power grid, transportation, and energy carry the operation of the country and the stability of society, but their safety is often underestimated or ignored. Every such cyber attack is a direct threat to national security and people's livelihoods.

Industrial Control Security: Sinsegye's iComputer Builds a 'Digital Great Wall' with Three Core Defenses

The first line of defense: full stack autonomous control from operating system to development and compilation

We refuse to accept foreign manufacturers' "black box operations" and allow key software and hardware facilities to be controlled by ourselves. Sinsegye’s iComputer， Equipped with the self-developed Sinegye MetaOS industrial dual domain operating system, and providing a self-developed MetaFacture development and compilation environment, with an integrated computing and control architecture, the development and construction from hardware and OS bottom layer to application layer achieve controllable, trustworthy, and reliable computing and control. Just like providing a secure foundation for industrial control systems, it makes it difficult to witness the tragedy of Indian style power outages.

Second Line of Defense: Five Dimensional Defense in Depth System

• Data Fortress: The national encryption algorithm SM2/3/4 constructs an encryption matrix, and even if data is intercepted, it is just a pile of "heavenly books". Sinsegye MetaOS has a built-in national encryption algorithm that supports encryption of communication protocols, authentication and authorization of access control, and local encryption of databases, building a data security fortress.
• Communication Iron Wall: End to end TLS encryption+device mutual authentication, making network "man in the middle attacks" nowhere to hide. SinsegyeMetaOS、 And the development platform MetaFacture supports TLS encrypted communication and mutual authentication with upper level services to avoid man in the middle attacks.
• System moat: The Sinsegye MetaOS virtualization isolation technology isolates applications from the system, ensuring that a fire in one location will not affect the entire city and ensuring that industrial control systems are not affected.
• Firmware safe: firmware signature verification and secure boot technology work together to block the path of malicious software implantation from the source.
• Loyal Sentinel: Real time domain monitoring+virtual machine monitoring+log analysis+health diagnosis, with attempted abnormal behavior locked in.

Third line of defense: Physical level dual domain isolation

Sinsegye MetaOS is a dual domain operating system that focuses on controlling tasks in the real-time domain, while running industrial applications such as vision and AI algorithms in the non real time domain. The dual domains are isolated and do not affect each other. Simultaneously creating a dual hard drive physical isolation architecture, real-time and non real time domain data are independently stored on different physical hard drives, achieving a "bulletproof glass" style data isolation. Even in the face of extreme attacks, it can cut off the impact of the attack and ensure that the core control system is not damaged.

The Future of Industrial Control Security: From Device Security to Global Responsibility

With the development of technology, the security of industrial control systems is facing constantly changing challenges. From the massive power outage in Ukraine in 2015 to the recent India Pakistan cyber attack and defense, history has repeatedly proven that cyber warfare has become a new form of modern warfare, and the security of critical infrastructure is the "Maginot Line" of the new era. At this point, enterprises with independent and controllable technologies will become the core force in protecting national and social stability.

Sinsegye provides the answer with autonomous and controllable hardcore technology: true security begins with holding the core technology in one's own hands. With the advanced security technologies of iComputer and its carriers such as Sinegye MetaOS and MetaFacture, industrial enterprises can prevent modern network attacks before they occur. Sinsegye's iComputer, with its continuously improving security and reliability, will provide strong security guarantees for critical infrastructure worldwide.
