MALAYSIAN TECHNOLOGY STRATEGIC OUTLOOK 2019/2020

The establishment of UNITEN R&D Sdn. Bhd. (URND) indicates UNITEN's capability in assisting relevant industries in research areas that UNITEN has identified as its forte as well as high impact areas in order to achieve their goals and compete in economic globalisation. URND aims to explore niche areas of Energy related research which are Sustainable Clean Energy, Power & Energy Services Convergence, Energy Social Sustainability, Energy Infrastructure and Computing and Informatics in Energy. UNITEN/URND has five Research Institutes spearheaded by lecturers who are experts in their own areas. UNITENR&DSDNBHD The Technology CUTEn - An Intelligent Security Transceiver For Secured Smart Grip Ecosystem

platform underwent a thorough research and development to address the needs of critical national infrastructure (CNI) sectors that are susceptible to cyber-attacks. Designed by UNITEN’s Cybersecurity research team, CUTEn is a market-driven product, customizable to various sector needs and requirements. CUTEn is a security transceiver that acts as a Bump-in-the-Wire security device in Industrial Control System (ICS) of legacy systems and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. It contains homegrown and world-widely used cryptographic algorithms and cryptographic protocol to provide data confidentiality, data integrity and data-origin authentication through Encryption, Authenticated Encryption and Authentication. This innovative product has advanced security feature which involves 3 security algorithms for each security processing and is non-deterministic. • Patent protected product with high security features • Applicable to any legacy systems and can be upgraded to IOT applications • Encryption-Authentication- Authenticated Encryption • In compliance to International standard certification • Supported by IEC 62870-5-101 and 104 protocols

Recognising that even a temporary shortage of energy supply could result in significant economic loss, or worse yet possible loss of life, the many governments around the world has identified energy as one of its critical national infrastructure (CNI) sectors. Hackers prey on systems in desperate need of modernisation which, if penetrated, could lead to devastating consequences. Cybercriminals have identified electric utility grids as prime targets for disruption activities, the energy industry has become the recipient of a disproportionate number of cyber-related attacks. Legacy systems (such as electric power grid, oil and gas, train transportation etc) are reliable but insecure to cyber- attacks. CUTEn is an intelligent security transceiver product that is designed to enable the deployment of a safe smart grid ecosystem. UNITEN has developed an intelligent device to detect cyber-related attacks and enable the deployment of secured smart grid ecosystem. This novel open

CUTEN-SOLUTIONS FOR SECURED SMART GRID; AND FLASHESCAPE- AUTOMATED REMOTE RACKING SYSTEM; BOTH ARE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE FOR DEPLOYMENT.
