SCADA plays a vital role in critical infrastructures. As the modern IT technology become very advanced, the threat on industrial control system (ICS) and SCADA security become a big concern of every critical infrastructures operator. With the recent cyber-attacks, the urge to secure the critical infrastructure is a big issue especially for those countries that uses critical infrastructures. In ...

Modern SCADA systems are increasingly adopting Internet technologies to control distributed industrial assets. As proprietary communication protocols are increasingly being used over public networks without efficient protection mechanisms, it is increasingly easier for attackers to penetrate into the communication networks of companies that operate electrical power grids, water plants, and othe...

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) networks are commonly deployed to aid the operation of large industrial facilities, such as water treatment and distribution facilities, and electricity and gas providers. Historically, SCADA networks were composed by special-purpose embedded devices communicating through proprietary protocols. However, three main trends can be observed in modern...

Due to rapid development in automation system, the remote operation, control and monitoring are necessary for any modern system. The SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) provides this remote operation, control and monitoring for industrial automation. The SCADA is also widely used for overall operation of modern power system. The application of SCADA is still new in Bangladesh speci...

SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, a communication technology which collects data from distant facilities and sends control signals to actuators. There are several factors which increase the risk associated with SCADA systems. SCADA components are considered to be profoundly privileged targets for cyber attacks through which hackers can easily hit the nation’s critical i...

Supervisory control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems play a core role in a nation’s critical infrastructure, overseeing the monitoring and control of systems in electricity, gas supply, logistics services, banks and hospitals. SCADA systems were once separated from other networks and used proprietary communications protocols, hardware and software. Nowadays modern SCADA systems are increasi...

Today, security is a prominent issue when any type of communication is being undertaken. Like traditional networks, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems suffer from a number of vulnerabilities. Numerous end-to-end security mechanisms have been proposed for the resolution of SCADA-system security issues, but due to insecure real-time protocol use and the reliance upon open pr...

This paper discusses the range of application for SCADA and control systems in a wind power plant, the most important SCADA and control system considerations, and contractual requirements for SCADA and control systems.

The four LHC experiments at CERN have decided to use a commercial SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) product for the supervision of their DCS (Detector Control System). The selected SCADA, which is used for the CMS DCS, is PVSS II from the company ETM. This SCADA has its own database, which is suitable for storing conventional controls data such as voltages, temperatures and press...

SCADA is the acronym for "Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition." SCADA systems are widely used in industry for supervisory control and data acquisition of industrial processes. Conventional SCADA systems use PC, notebook, thin client, and PDA as a client. In this paper, a Java-enabled mobile phone has been used as a client in a sample SCADA application in order to display and supervise the ...
