Enhancing SCADA Security: The Importance of Threat and Risk Assessment
The security of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems is crucial in the linked world of today. SCADA systems play a critical role in monitoring and controlling industrial processes, making them an attractive target for malicious actors. To ensure the robustness and resilience of SCADA systems, conducting comprehensive threat and risk assessments is vital. In this blog post, we will explore the significance of SCADA security and the role of threat and risk assessment in safeguarding these critical systems. Understanding SCADA Security: SCADA systems are utilized in various industries such as energy, manufacturing, water treatment, and transportation. They enable real-time data collection, analysis, and control of industrial processes. However, their connectivity to external networks and potential vulnerabilities make them susceptible to cyber threats. An attack on a SCADA system can disrupt operations, compromise safety, and lead to significant financial losses....
