Modern technology enhancements have been used worldwide to fulfill the requirements of the industrial sector, especially in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems as a part of industrial control systems (ICS). SCADA systems have gained popularity in industrial automations due to technology enhancements and connectivity with modern computer networks and/or protocols. The procur...

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system employ a wide range of computer and communication technologies. Advances in the technologies have helped in improving the effectiveness of SCADA. One such recent technological development is Internet and the World Wide Web. The operational and commercial needs of the power industry require information systems to not only perform traditiona...

Despite growing awareness of security issues especially in SCADA networks, there exist little or scarce information about SCADA vulnerabilities and attacks. Where security has been a consideration, there has been no clear methodology to assess the security impacts brought about by attacks. Worst, there have been no or very little security tools that have been released publicly. This research ai...

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are migrating from isolated to highly-interconnected large scale architectures. In addition, these systems are increasingly composed of standard Internet technologies and use public networks. Hence, while the SCADA functionality has increased, its vulnerability to cyber threats has also risen. These threats often lead to reduced system av...

SCADA systems are widely spread in automation, monitoring and control systems for industrial processes. These systems are used to develop the factories of the future. Currently, the most SCADA systems allow data sharing only within a local network. With the development of the Internet of Things concept, it was started to be used in the systems for the factories of the future. One of the most po...

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software is used to control and monitor processes throughout industry. The licensing cost of software and the bundling of potentially superfluous functionality into commercial SCADA software could lead organizations to develop their own custom SCADA development tools for internal use. It is important to understand the functionality criteria uniqu...

With the advent of new technologies, the demand of connecting IT systems to the Internet is increasing. This is also the case for Control systems specifically SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) systems. Traditional SCADA systems are connected only in a limited private network. Because SCADA is considered a critical infrastructure, some operators hold back on connecting it to the I...

This paper presents the development of Smart Grid testbed using SCADA software and Xbee wireless communication. The proposed testbed combines both the software simulation and the hardware simulation. The Winlog SCADA software is employed to implement the algorithm in the Smart Grid system. To communicate between nodes and the Smart Grid Center, the Xbee wireless communication is employed. The t...

A SCADA system for a single 3,000-mile-long strand of oil or gas pipeline may employ several thousand field devices to measure process parameters and operate equipment. Because of the vital tasks performed by these sensors and actuators, pipeline operators need accurate and timely information about their status and integrity. This paper describes a realtime scanner that provides situational awa...
