Abstract

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) is a set of systems which are used to monitor and control remote equipment that can be found in general power plants, nuclear power plants, telecommunication; and any other critical infrastructure entities. SCADA is used for data acquisition, data processing, alarm and event processing, sequential switching operation, etc. SCADA systems were previously used in a closed private network; meaning that it is isolated from being exposed to external world. As the technology changes the needs came to connect the SCADA into the internet; which means increasing the chances of exposing the critical infrastructure into cyber-attacks. In this paper, we present a new approach to monitor Programmable Logical Controllers (PLC) that is focused on analysing packets from PLC to understand the normal behaviour of the equipment and reflect it into analyst monitoring dashboard. As a proof of concept, we will build small PLC temperature sensor, and we capture and record traffic from PLC during normal operation and also while PLC is under attack. The data analysed and reflected into analyst monitoring dashboard.
