Abstract

This paper presents a dataset to support research in the design of secure Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). The data collection process was implemented on a six-stage Secure Water Treatment (SWaT) testbed. SWaT represents a scaled down version of a real-world industrial water treatment plant producing 5 gallons per minute of water filtered via membrane based ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis units. This plant allowed data collection under two behavioral modes: normal and attacked. SWaT was run non-stop from its “empty” state to fully operational state for a total of 11-days. During this period, the first seven days the system operated normally i.e. without any attacks or faults. During the remaining days certain cyber and physical attacks were launched on SWaT while data collection continued. The dataset reported here contains the physical properties related to the plant and the water treatment process, as well as network traffic in the testbed. The data of both physical properties and network traffic contains attacks that were created and generated by our research team.
