contents Past attacks against industrial control systems (ICS) show that adversaries often target both the ICS network and the physical process to achieve potential catastrophic impact. To secure ICS, intrusion detection systems promise timely uncovering of such adversaries. However, as these detection mechanisms typically focus on isolated characteristics of ICS (e.g., packet timings), multiple detection systems have to be deployed in parallel, complicating their operation in practice. In this work, to spur discussion and further research, we present challenges encountered during our research towards a holistic intrusion detection system aiming to cover all dimensions of an ICS.
