SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems power factories, utilities, transit, and grids, linking sensors, PLCs, RTUs, and HMIs that keep critical infrastructure running. This book demystifies SCADA for security and operations teams by covering architectures, protocols, the IT/OT boundary, threat models, and attack paths. You’ll learn how to defend these systems by segmenting networks, hardening endpoints, securing remote access, and monitoring traffic to build an incident-ready environment with real-world checklists and labs.Written as a field guide for plants and control rooms where downtime isn’t an option, it serves OT/ICS engineers, security analysts, integrators, and managers who must ensure safety under vendor constraints and change-control limits. Moving beyond frameworks, it covers vendor-neutral patterns, configurations, and adaptable playbooks that fit any industry.
By the end, you’ll be able to map assets and data flows, assess risks, design zone-and-conduit defenses, ensure secure protocols, and rehearse incident response and recovery. Most importantly, you’ll deliver measurable resilience, safer operations, faster threat detection, and compliance-ready documentation.
