Intrusion Detection System for Securing the SCADA Industrial Control System

— Traditional Industrial Control System (ICS) is a system that consists of interconnected components in order to manage and control the hardware components in the industries. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) control system is one such control system that is used for collecting information and managing the critical infrastructures. Due to the reliable nature of the SCADA systems for enabling wider connectivity, they are connected to the corporate networks and to the Internet for better performance and productivity. The interconnectivity of the control systems with other networks, leads to many security concerns. Attackers can exploit and take hold of the control systems even if the vulnerability exists in any one of these systems.
