Detecting Anomalies in Programmable Logic Controllers Using Unsupervised Machine Learning

Supervisory control and data acquisition systems have been employed for decades to communicate with and coordinate industrial processes. These systems incorporate numerous programmable logic controllers that manage the operations of industrial equipment based on sensor information. Due to the important roles that programmable logic controllers play in industrial facilities, these microprocessor-based systems are exposed to serious cyber threats.
