| Description: |
This book examines the history of SCADA systems, their proliferation in the U.S. critical infrastructure, their unique real-time operating and performance requirements, and the evolution of SCADA protocols to provide access to external networks. |
| Synopsis: |
Bestselling author Ron Krutz once again demonstrates his ability to make difficult security topics approachable with this first in-depth look at SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) systems. Krutz discusses the harsh reality that natural gas pipelines, nuclear plants, water systems, oil refineries, and other industrial facilities are vulnerable to a terrorist or disgruntled employee causing lethal accidents and millions of dollars of damage, and what can be done to prevent this from happening. He examines SCADA system threats and vulnerabilities, the emergence of protocol standards, and how security controls can be applied to ensure the safety and security of our national infrastructure assets. |
