Explaining Vulnerabilities and Role of SCADA applications
Scada is a combination of hardware and software used in enabling the
automation of industrial processes by capturing Operational technology real time
data such as valves, motors or pumps. Many of their vulnerabilities come from
software issues while lack of security capabilities are their main problems. SCADA
is tied with many vital things human use such as shipping, electricity generation
and many others. Vulnerabilities in SCADA system could allow encrypted coding
to cause power grids, energy providers, healthcare databases, national defenses
and others to result in catastrophic real-world chaos. They should have security
detailed around clock 24\/7 to monitor the systems while also having some type of
infrastructure alarm for various reasons for whether that may be water leak
power outage at certain point. Also have parameters\/ procedures set in place for
what to do if a certain security issue comes upon and to know how to handle it
and take accountability. Everyone on the security team should have a very specific
role to minimize any confusion and have fast responders to whatever may occur
at any time. Last, we should add maintenance schedules to look at all
infrastructure to make sure everything in place looks over things, make sure
nothing out of the ordinary or old things that may need maintenance or replacing,
