Communications network analysis in a SCADA system testbed under cyber-attacks

Cyber-Physical Systems become more and more complex due to the technological evolution of components and interconnections. The network assessment of these systems becomes complicated due to the significant consequences of possible incidents, as Critical Infrastructure represent remarkable systems. Thus, despite the large literature on cyber-attacks, few works address the network unavailability in industrial control systems. In this paper, the results of several cyber-attacks against a Cyber-Physical testbed, in terms of communications, are investigated
