A Survey of Research in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)

Abstract

That Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are critical to the infrastructure of modern society and vulnerable to various attacks has been understood for several years. This report provides a brief overview of the technologies that compose SCADA systems, the impacts when SCADA systems fail, a high-level overview of the vulnerabilities present in SCADA systems, and a review of efforts that have been made to mitigate these vulnerabilities to include configuration guides, vulnerability assessments, network intrusion detection, cryptography, and test beds.
