Undergraduate
Project
PREP0004820
Overview
Working with NIST staff and industry partners to use and further develop an ontology for building
systems cybersecurity, for application to partners’ building cybersecurity use cases. This work will
involve study of related data source standards and methods to connect to those standards to bring data
into the OT cybersecurity knowledge graph.
Semantic Interoperability for Cybersecurity in Buildings
Qualifications
- Degree or ongoing coursework in cybersecurity related field
- Knowledge of semantic interoperability and of building systems
- Experience working with knowledge graphs and tools
- Ability to work with teams and building systems or cybersecurity experts
- Strong oral and written communication skills
Research Proposal
Key responsibilities will include but are not limited to:
- Developing extensions for OT cybersecurity ontology built on the ASHRAE 223, MITRE D3FEND,
and perhaps other ontologies like RE Core with relevant building cybersecurity data. - Interactions with C4SB partner companies with relevant OT cybersecurity use cases that will be
used to test and guide extensions. - Examining data sources and how to pull data into the knowledge graph
- Presenting results at internal meetings as well as meetings with external stakeholders.
- Ensuring that results, protocols, software, and documentation have been archived or otherwise
transmitted to the larger organization.
