Frequently Asked Questions
What is ICS/SCADA security?
ICS (Industrial Control Systems) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) security covers the protection of systems that control physical processes in power grids, water treatment, manufacturing, and transportation. These systems face unique risks because compromise can have real-world physical consequences.
Why is critical infrastructure a target for cyberattacks?
Critical infrastructure is targeted because disruption causes maximum societal impact, creates leverage for nation-state actors, and many OT (operational technology) systems run legacy software with limited security controls.
