Description

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems have been at the heart of processes used by many different industries, from the control of machinery in power plants to the management of traffic lights in cities. Because SCADA systems play important roles in very critical processes, an unchecked weakness could cause grave real-world consequences.

As they have taken on more capabilities over the years—both as a product of an increasingly connected world and to meet new demands—it is important to revisit what kind of vulnerabilities have been discovered in SCADA systems and learn how to secure them.
