Question

Realizing the vulnerabilities and risks to CI from cyberattacks using SCADA and DCS systems, what are the obstacles to the CI industry, in collaboration with the government, to securing SCADA and DCS systems against Cyber Attacks? *Please no copying and pasting* I know I have ask this before, but I would like a little more depth into if possible. Looking for more of answering in your own words so I can add my input as well

Answer 1

The barriers to the CI industry in order to collaborate with the government are as follows:

• The advancement of the technology which consists only of the two protocols that are used from the stand-alone to the networked or the wireless/mobile type of the systems which are all increasingly vulnerable to the cyber attacks.
• The devices which consist of the state-of-the-art and heterogeneous hardware & software.
• The main barriers are the limited resources which are required at each step of the SCDA and DCS control.
• Another main barrier is the Responsive Teal Time communication.

Hence, these are the barriers or obstacle to the CI industry in order to secure SCAD and DCS systems against the cyber attacks.

1. SCADA & DCS are one of the most important types in the industry as well as the energy sectors. The SCADA systems are too vulnerable towards the viruses, worms, malware, etc.
2. The SCADA & DCS systems are too vulnerable to attacks and hence, one must take care of the systems by running scanners and updated vulnerability testers,=
