This workshop provides engineers and technicians with the basic theoretical and practical understanding of PLC and SCADA systems. It traces the evolution of the PLC as an intelligent 'black box' ...

Researchers have found vulnerabilities in industrial control systems that they say grant full control of systems running energy, chemical and transportation systems. The vulnerabilities were ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated an open-source supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system designed to withstand attacks and compromises on the power grid. The ...

The U.S. currently faces a growing threat from cyber-attacks against its critical infrastructure (CI) vital to our modern society. Many understand this growing threat but don’t know the origins of a ...

SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) is a comprehensive system of hardware and software designed to enable organizations to control and monitor industrial processes. Widely use across ...

Researchers have found vulnerabilities in industrial control systems that they say grant full control of systems running energy, chemical and transportation systems. The vulnerabilities were ...

We are fascinated when we see machines work together, seemingly with minds of their own. The TV show “How It’s Made” became popular for simply showing how products are made in an automated factory ...

If you think database patching is onerous and fraught with risk, then try patching a SCADA system that's running a power plant. With post-Stuxnet paranoia pressuring major SCADA vendors like Siemens ...

In tough economic and regulatory times, manufacturers need automated supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems that gather, store and retrieve real-time actionable production data.
