Critical Infrastructure vulnerabilities and threats, as well as other associated dangers, have been known for some time. A vulnerability is a flaw or weakness in a program that allows an attacker to harm the application’s users. It can be a design problem or an application issue. Vulnerabilities are features of an installation, system, asset, program, or its connections that could cause it to deteriorate or lose functionality. The top 5 risks and threats that organizations should prepare for are malware attacks, web application attacks, DDoS attacks, Network segmentation, and command injection. Bad actors can run out of control inside an organization’s network architecture and acquire access to important assets such as personnel information and highly private intellectual property if network segmentation is not in place. The DDoS attack can cripple any organization by slowing down systems or stalling out requests while using a lot of computing resources. Unprotected web applications and exposed systems make it possible for cross-site scripting and SQL injection. Malware attacks can wipe out data, impair equipment, and lock administrators out of systems in exchange for a ransom payment. Lastly command injection can give attackers the power to execute arbitrary system commands on OT systems (Iaremenko, A.). All of these attacks are reasons why SCADA applications play a huge role in mitigating these risks. SCADA is basically a system that controls infrastructural processes including water treatment, wastewater treatment, gas pipelines, wind farms, facility-based processes like airports, space stations, ships, and so on, as well as industrial operations like production, manufacturing, refining, and power generation. SCADA stands for supervisory control and data acquisition. There are several roles that SCADA plays in mitigating any threats to infrastructure systems. One way that it plays in limiting any threats is to record and display any changes related to the alarm conditions and set points such as high temp or loss of flow. SCADA also is a system that collects data from numerous sensors across a factory, plant, or other remote location and feeds it to a central computer for management and control.
