title = "A Strategic Approach to Managing Security in SCADA Systems",
abstract = "The internet was started as an open distributed system for researchers and academics without much concern for cyber security related issues. However, it gradually evolved into a complex network as a platform for connectivity of businesses and communities across the world. Today, the Internet not only brings together businesses and communities but also hosts complex electronic and engineering systems (such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition - SCADA - systems) deployed to manage critical infrastructures. The Internet has become the transporting method for high volume of critical information worldwide. Securing sensitive information and safe-guarding operations of critical infrastructure management systems is a worldwide preoccupation. SCADA systems are put in place worldwide to manage not only critical infrastructures but also complex operations that play a vital role in managing scarce natural resources and the environment. This paper examines research on both SCADA systems and Internet security and provides an overview of key issues and recommends a strategy framework for protection of SCADA systems.",
