ABSTRACT

One of the increasingly visible issues of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)/ control systems security deals with the disclosure of vulnerabilities; whether the vulnerabilities are disclosed within a public venue, or in closed confinement, continues to be a heated debate of those close to this effort. As this community continues to evolve, many are observing some progress being made regarding security-related vulnerabilities, research, and disclosure, along with the many interesting issues that have come and gone. Clearly, this community’s understanding of security-related issues has matured significantly over the past decade, and thus appears that it has made great advancements in recognizing that consequence has a great deal of importance as far as risk is concerned.
