Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and industrial control systems monitor and control a wide range of industrial and infrastructure processes such as water treatment, power generation and transmission, oil and gas refining, and general manufacturing. Such systems are usually built using a variety of commodity computer and networking components and are becoming increasingly interconnected to corporate and other Internet-visible networks. As a result, they face significant threats from cyber attacks.
This Special Issue focuses on issues related to industrial control systems security. Our goal is to disseminate the latest research and knowledge in this important area. The following areas, which are of particular interest, including (but not limited to) the following subject categories, are solicited:
- Intrusion detection and prevention
- Malware
- Vulnerability analysis and risk management
- Digital forensics
- Virtualization
- Application security
- Performance evaluation of security methods and tools in control systems
- Cybersecurity Education
Dr. Ernest Foo
