SCADA and ICS cybersecurity: vulnerabilities, testing and guidelines
SCADA cybersecurity is the discipline of protecting the industrial control systems that monitor and operate plants, utilities and critical infrastructure from unauthorized access, tampering and disruption. As SCADA platforms increasingly connect to corporate IT networks, cloud services and remote maintenance tools, the attack surface facing operators has grown far beyond the isolated, air-gapped systems of decades past. Solid SCADA security combines technical hardening, disciplined testing and adherence to recognized frameworks. Winlog Evo, the SCADA/HMI platform from Sielco Sistemi, is built with these requirements in mind and serves as the reference SCADA throughout this guide.
