SPHERE CPS Enclave: A Reconfigurable Testbed for Industrial Control System Security Experimentation

Abstract

We present a live demonstration of the SPHERE CPS enclave, a reconfigurable industrial-control experimentation environment built to make ICS security studies repeatable and shareable across research teams. The enclave combines PLC-based control, modular I/O, SCADA/HMI interaction, and an isolated, configurable network segment, with optional integration of simulated components to emulate larger process contexts. This demo walks attendees through an end-to-end workflow using a water-treatment scenario: provisioning the control and monitoring stack, running a baseline process, introducing representative faults or adversarial manipulations, and collecting synchronized controller, network, and process telemetry for replay and offline analysis. The goal is to support evaluations of detection and response techniques that depend on coupled cyber and physical behavior, including controller-logic attacks …
