Abstract

This paper seeks to analyse the recent exponential growth of the cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats of SCADA systems in the critical infrastructures. As the critical assets that support the functioning of societies and economies are becoming more automated and IT integrated, the cyber attacks are becoming more susceptible to have potentially disastrous effects. Given the importance of the SCADA systems, successful cyberattacks upon them can have adverse results upon the national economies and societies. Necessary steps are mandatory to be taken in order to improve the cyber protection of the critical infrastructures.
