ABSTRACT

The role of physical security is to identify, establish, and maintain a predictable and controlled environment with respect to the management of acts or conditions that may, through intent or nature, pose harm to an organization’s personnel, assets, and operations. When looking at supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) networks, this can pose a number of significant challenges to organizations that have not established clear governance structures or that have failed to look at what can be described as the primacy of operations. This chapter intends to look, in some detail, at how to approach those issues.
