Industrial Control Systems, such as SCADA, are the âbrainsâ of critical infrastructure, providing the vital functions of control and monitoring necessary to operate the Bulk Electric System. Since they were designed for functionality and performance, cybersecurity was not a primary consideration. During this session, we will discuss SCADA threat vectors, possible consequences, and some horror stories. Many of the actions presented to protect the utility and its customers can be applied to all Industrial Control Systems.
