Cyber Attacks on SCADA Systems

Energy networks are defined as critical infrastructures monitored and controlled by the ICS and SCADA Systems. The attacks like DOS, MITM mostly happen due to vulnerabilities of SCADA components (PLC, RTU, HMI, communication equipment) and the used protocols. This paper explains how SCADA systems can be hacked by the attacker and some Standards & Regulations to secure the system are provided.
