In this paper, we analyze several cyber-security incidents involving critical infrastructure and SCADA systems. We classify these incidents based on Source Sector, Method of Operations, Impact, and Target Sector. Using this standardized taxonomy we can easily compare and contrast current and future SCADA incidents.

Subsea systems used in combination with host facilities, such as floating, production storage and offloading units (FPSOs), tension leg platforms (TLPs), spars or compliant towers employ supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems whose architectures differ from SCADA systems found on conventional platforms. In these systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) located on the hos...

SCADA and industrial control systems have been traditionally isolated in physically protected environments. However, developments such as standardisation of data exchange protocols and increased use of IP, emerging wireless sensor networks and machine-to-machine communication mean that in the near future related threat vectors will require consideration too outside the scope of traditional SCAD...

SCADA acronym for supervisory control and data acquisition, a computer system for gathering and analyzing real-time data. SCADA systems are used to monitor and control a plant or equipment in industries such as water and waste control, telecommunications, oil and gas refining, transportation, energy. As these systems monitor critical and industrial infrastructures, so evaluation of their execut...

Standard approaches for detecting malicious behaviors, e.g. monitoring network traffic, cannot address process-related threats in SCADA(Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) systems. These threats take place when an attacker gains user access rights and performs actions which look legitimate, but which can disrupt the industrial process. We believe that it is possible to detect such behavio...

This paper describes the implementation of a customized intrusion detection and event monitoring system for a SCADA/sensor testbed. The system raises alerts upon detecting potential unauthorized access and changes in device settings. By markedly increasing the logging of critical network events, the system shows dramatic improvements in both the security and overall auditing capabilities. In ad...

Implementation of sophisticated SCADA systems in the water industry has given plant operators unprecedented capability to monitor and control all aspects of water production and distribution from a centralized control centre. Sophisticated utilities recognize that SCADA need not be composed of one or more isolated “islands of automation” but can and should be a single system operating on a Wide...
