Abstract

The nation's critical infrastructures, such as those found in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and industrial control systems (ICS), are increasingly at risk and vulnerable to internal and external threats. Security best practices on these systems come at a very opportune time. Further, the value of risk assessment of these systems is something that cannot just be relegated as irrelevant. In this paper, we present a review of security best practices and risk assessment of SCADA and ICS and report our research findings on an on-going risk modeling of a prototypical industrial control system using the CORAS framework tool.
