SCADA Security

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) security involves protecting the computer systems and networks that monitor and control critical infrastructure like power plants, water systems, and factories. These systems collect data from remote locations and allow operators to manage operations. Securing SCADA means implementing safeguards to prevent cyberattacks, unauthorized access, and disruptions that could cause equipment damage or service outages. It involves cybersecurity measures such as firewalls, encryption, user authentication, and regular updates to ensure the system remains reliable and safe from malicious threats.
