SCADA - more and more accessible

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are command and monitoring systems used for industrial devices process control. These include in particular SCADA systems, DCS systems, and other configuration control systems. Originally, ICS were designed as isolated networks running on their own protocols and specifically dedicated software. This explains why, for some time after the introduction of ICS, cyber-attacks on such systems remained limited.

Nevertheless, currently, there is a number of ongoing changes where more and more ICS are directly connected to the internet or company networks. The reasons for this shift range from an enhanced opportunity to enable remote monitoring of processes, better access to system maintenance and process control as well as analysis of production-related data. As a result of such an evolution in the set up of ICS, the number of cyber-attacks impacting these systems has increased significantly.

This presentation will focus on the subject of SCADA systems from the viewpoint of cyber threats and it will outline approaches for the effective redress of cyber-attacks.
