ICS (Industrial Control System) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) are systems that are used in industrial plants and infrastructures to monitor and control processes.
An ICS is a system that consists of a large number of hardware and software components and has been specially developed for industrial applications. It is often used in production facilities, power plants, water treatment plants and other critical infrastructures. The ICS makes it possible to automate and control industrial processes by using sensors and actuators to monitor and control devices and machines.
SCADA is a system that is closely linked to ICS and usually functions as a monitoring system for an ICS. It consists of one or more central computers that collect and visualize data from sensors and devices within the ICS. This data can be monitored and analyzed in real time to identify and solve problems before they lead to failures or other malfunctions.
Although ICS and SCADA are important tools for improving the efficiency and safety of industrial plants, they are also vulnerable to cyber attacks.
A successful attack on an ICS or SCADA system can have serious consequences, such as disrupting operations or compromising the safety of employees and the public. For this reason, it is important to take appropriate security measures to protect these systems.
