IMPROVING SECURITY IN SCADA-ENABLED SYSTEMS INTERNET OF THINGS

Abstract

In the modern world, where more and more devices are becoming connected to the Internet, including industrial process control systems, there is a need to ensure their security. Dispatch control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems allow industrial organizations to monitor data and production processes in real time.

The introduction of SCADA systems at enterprises has many advantages that can increase the efficiency and productivity of production processes, reduce production costs, improve control over production processes, increase enterprise safety and improve enterprise management. The introduction of Internet of Things technology into SCADA systems is an important step in the development of modern production technologies and helps enterprises to become more efficient, increase their profitability and minimize production downtime. In contrast, with the increase in the number of devices connected to the Internet, there is a need to ensure the security of industrial process control systems. The article describes the main threats associated with the use of Internet-enabled SCADA systems and methods of protection against these threats. The relevance of such systems, the need for their protection and the main methods to increase the level of security at the enterprise are considered.

The results obtained in the course of the study allow us to consider the possibilities of integrating SCADA systems and Internet of Things technology, pay attention to the main points of ensuring the safety of such systems and determine the order of measures necessary to protect production processes.
