Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are pivotal in monitoring and controlling industrial processes and infrastructure in real-time.
SCADA systems integrate data acquisition from various sensors, instruments, and devices, enabling operators to visualize and manage operations through graphical interfaces.
These systems are crucial across sectors such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, and utilities, where they facilitate remote operation, data logging, and process automation.
SCADA networks typically consist of a master station, remote terminal units (RTUs), and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that communicate over secure protocols like Modbus or DNP3, ensuring robust data transmission and system reliability.
Security in SCADA is paramount due to its critical infrastructure role; thus, stringent measures are in place to protect against cyber threats and unauthorized access.
Modern SCADA systems incorporate advanced cybersecurity protocols, encryption techniques, and firewalls to safeguard against potential vulnerabilities.
