Test bed development for s security engineered SCADA laboratory

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are critical for infrastructure operations, production processes, automation systems, and other automated control systems. SCADA systems are vulnerable to cyber physical attacks from many vectors. The attack surface varies widely. The problem is complicated by the inherent focus on performance, reliability, and safety rather than cybersecurity. The Secure SCADA Framework establishes a security engineered approach evolving SCADA and ICS systems towards a more cybersecure posture. The encapsulating and integrating concepts of the Secure SCADA Framework require development and analysis of implementations achieving the eight framework goals. This work provides a solution for research, design, development, and evaluation of components of a Secure SCADA System. A Security Engineered SCADA Laboratory requires a test bed with which engineering and science designs can be developed. This paper presents a test bed which can model and collect data on simulated attacks, analyze data to evaluate performance, and provide the foundations for a Security Engineered SCADA Laboratory.Conference PaperPublishedPermission granted to the University of West Florida to display this item for non-profit research and educational purposes.
