Abstract

Critical infrastructures like electricity services are essential services that underprop a nation’s society and aids to its economy, security, health and progress. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system i.e. industrial control system (ICS) for electricity utility sector forms the backbone of the operations and control processes. The security to this national level critical infrastructure must be a topmost priority for any nation. The aim of this research paper is to propose an augmented smart grid-based SCADA security management system (SSMS) for electricity utility companies that will empower them to protect their industrial control networks from security attacks and operational interruptions by providing complete and centralized visibility of operations network and security state of the deployed infrastructure. The paper will present the various components of SCADA security management systems and the proposed centralized SCADA security management system based on Zero-Trust architecture.
