SCADA, or often referred as Process Control Systems (PCS) is interpreted as an overall collection of control systems that measures, reports, and changes processes SCADA is the acronym of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, which is a communication technology scheme for collecting data from distant facilities and also controlling them on control systems. In the beginning SCADA system was locally introduced, and it has been applied to larger and wide-area systems as the information technology
infrastructure for electric power system Smart grid is a concept that a grid who has advanced functionality like advance security, self healing process, able to self decision. SCADA system's network are well constructed and follow the strict infrastructure and for bulk power network it uses the IP based technologies. This SCADA network architecture consists data models, application layer and middleware and transport function for transmission. The middleware operates to ensure performance. Number of

According to the initial review, Silver Star Mines risk assessment highlights the following risk areas: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) at top critical risk, stored information at extreme risk, financial, procurement, production systems at high risk and e-mail services at high risks accordingly. With this in mind, management should evaluate and take proper security measures to assets

The main goals of DTL Power are to maximize uptime, maintain a strong security, and remain profitable. Additionally, DTL Power also believes that it benefits our organization to ensure that we collaborate with other organizations like Avisitel and the Federal government to help safeguard DTL Power’s systems. For example, Avisitel makes up a portion of the internet’s backbone and any downtime that affects Avisitel may also affect DTL Power. Also, the Federal government provides technical advice
“Improving Security of Oil Pipeline SCADA Systems Using Service-Oriented Architectures” is an article written by Nary Subramanian in 2008. The article introduces a new computer system that will improve a current computer system that runs oil pipelines. The purpose of this article was to convince the audience that the new computer system will improve the security and enhance the feasibility of the oil pipeline management. This essay analyzes rhetorical concepts the author used to convey his idea through
ABSTRACT: Artificial Intelligence is a machine which can think and do work for the human. AI can have many applications and can be used anywhere in the universe. My Project is about AI in Power Stations. We will discuss about how the AI techniques can be used in power stations to increase the supply of power and everything. Power Stations have tremendous growth this can be increased more by using some AI Techniques. We even have some faults in the power stations as we make use of transformers, generators
threats from state based organizations are very possible and are happening every day. The theory of Stuxnet is the belief that this worm was created by a highly organized team, which was probably funded by a government, and its target was specific SCADA systems based in IRAN in attempts to stop its nuclear facilities. We should be aware of the possibility of more advanced types of cyber attacks in the near future and Stuxnet is a great example for us to prepare for future cyber conflicts. Throughout

Similar to the operating capabilities of Stuxnet, Cylance operations have the capability to sabotage and disable to a certain degree, Industrial Control Systems(ICS) as well as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition(SCADA) networks. (Cylance 14). ICS and SCADA networks control a significant portion of a nation’s infrastructure from power plants to transportation systems. The destructive capabilities from cyber operations have the potential to alter or disable infrastructure vital to the
This restrains the capacity of individual clients – or assailants – to achieve documents or parts of the framework they shouldn't get to. For instance, SCADA framework administrators likely needn't bother with access to the charging division or certain authoritative documents.

Hacking Continuous Glucose Monitors Diabetes is a disease in which the body has a shortage of insulin, a decreased ability to use insulin, or both. People with this disease have to administer a synthetic insulin replacement into the body to regulate and stabilize their blood-sugar level. The traditional insulin delivery method is through injection by a needle and syringe. Determining when to introduce insulin into the body requires frequent blood tests (poking the finger). An alternative to this
