The Function of SCADA in Critical Infrastructure
Rosslin John Robles, Minkyu Choi, Tai-hoon Kim · Proceedings of KIIT Summer Conference · 2009
Critical Infrastructures are so crucial to the society and community that a disruption of it can cause great damage. Many of these identified Critical Infrastructures are controlled by control systems like SCADA or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. Because of this, SCADA becomes a target of terrorists and other threats. In this paper, we discuss the relationship of Critical Infrastructure and SCADA, the threats and vulnerabilities and provides steps to minimize these threats and vulnerabilities. We also discuss the function of SCADA systems and other control systems to sectors which were considered Critical Infrastructure.
