Abstract

Protecting networks that are part of industrial control systems (ICS), such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, is a significant issue that affects public health as well as public safety and national security. Industrial control systems such as the SCADA systems that manage our electrical grids, oil pipelines, and water distribution systems remain vulnerable to cyber-attacks from different directions through various technologies in the U.S. It is essential to understand that the security of critical infrastructure goes far beyond the scope of cybersecurity. Qualitative interviews with subject matter experts were used to discover the best practices for protecting these systems.
