Oil pipeline Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems monitor and help control pipes transporting both crude and refined petroleum products. Typical SCADA system architectures focus on centralized data collection and control – however, this system has vulnerabilities that decrease the overall security of the system, especially for an oil pipeline SCADA. Service-oriented architec...

Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems have been widely used in industry applications. Due to their application specific nature, most SCADA systems are heavily tailored to their specific applications. For example, a remote terminal unit (RTU) that monitors and controls a production well in an oilfield is only connected with a few sensors at the well it resides. The RTU usually...

Modern Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, used to control and monitor critical processes in infrastructures or industry, are increasingly built with off-the-shelf components which can be integrated into existing networks. The benefits of increased flexibility and reduced costs are accompanied by newly introduced challenges regarding security and dependability of SCADA sys...

This paper presents the use of intelligent system with Supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) Software and hardware components platform like PLC considered as the main contents of this project. SCADA software enables us to monitor, record data whenever required from the hardware installed and gives the status of the main power system components like motors, relays, panels, feed...

A damage or breakage of Critical Infrastructure or CI will have a huge effect on humanity and economy. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems (SCADA) play a big role on Critical Infrastructure since most of these infrastructures are controlled by control systems like SCADA. In this paper, we assess vulnerabilities of a SCADA system, its effect to the society and the ways to prevent su...

Modern industrial facilities have command and control systems. These industrial command and control systems are commonly called supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA).In this paper, we analyze several security issues in SCADA systems. We classify these issues based on key management, vulnerability and survivability. Using this standardized security techniques we can easily compare & c...

Substation networks have traditionally been isolated from corporate Information Technology (IT) networks. Hence, the security of substation networks has depended heavily upon limited access points and the use of point-to-point Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) specific protocols. With the introduction of Ethernet into substations, pressure to reduce expenses and provide Internet ...

Critical infrastructures are ubiquitous in the modern world and include electrical power systems, water, gas, and other utilities, as well as trains and transportation systems including airports. This work is concerned with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems that are at the heart of distributed critical infrastructures within airports. Modern airports are highly competitiv...

Current supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems do not have adequately tailored security solutions. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in SCADA systems are particularly vulnerable due to a lack of firmware auditing capabilities. Since a PLC is a field device that directly connects to a physical system for monitoring and control, a compromise of its firmware could have devast...

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is a PC or computer system for gathering, dissecting and checking continuous and real time data. SCADA systems are utilized to monitor and control plants or equipments in a mixed bag of present day commercial enterprises. SCADA is a critical information system; its criticality originates from the way that SCADA systems are at present crucial part...
