Abstract

Industrial Control Systems are at the heart of our critical infrastructures. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems (SCADA) are providing engineers with visibility and control of large-scale distributed control system infrastructures. Whilst these systems have in the past been isolated, today's technological advancements and changes in business needs mean that they are increasingly integrated with other networks that are connected to the Internet and infrastructures. This chapter provides an introduction to SCADA systems and reviews and analyses the resulting risks, threats arising from cyber attacks. The remainder of the chapter then investigates strategies to mitigate some of the risks that result from the increasing exposure of SCADA systems through prevention, attribution and incident response.
