Implementing secure SCADA

Securing SCADA is a tough job when it has to be performed practically; however, we can look for some of the following key points when securing SCADA systems:

• Keep an eye on every connection to the SCADA network and check if any unauthorized attempts were made
• Make sure all the network connections are disconnected when they are not required
• Implement all the security features provided by the system vendors
• Implement IDPS technologies for both internal and external systems and apply incident monitoring for 24 hours
• Document all the network infrastructure and define individual roles to administrators and editors
• Establish IR teams and blue teams for identifying attack vectors on a regular basis
