SCADA Systems Write-Up
The threats faced by Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are in many ways similar to threats faced by other systems one might deal with when working in cybersecurity. The unique threats faced by SCADA systems, however, resolve around the unique nature of them. To understand this, it is vital to first understand how…
The Human Factor in Cybersecurity
The best policy in the given scenario would be to prioritize cybersecurity training, particularly as it relates to familiarizing employees outside of the IT department with cybersecurity practices.

The Vital Protocols
1. One protocol that is very important in cybersecurity is the Transmission Control Protocol. 2. The transmission control protocol operates on a variety of port numbers such as Port 21, which is the control channel and Port 22, which is used for SSH (ActiveCountermeasures, 2021.) 3. The transmission control protocol allows data transfers in a…
