A Review of Testbeds on SCADA Systems with Malware Analysis

Abstract

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are among the major types of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and are responsible for monitoring and controlling essential infrastructures such as power generation, water treatment, and transportation. Very common and with high added-value, these systems have malware as one of their main threats, and due to their characteristics, it is practically impossible to test the security of a system without compromising it, requiring simulated test platforms to verify their cyber resilience. This review will discuss the most recent studies on ICS testbeds with a focus on cybersecurity and malware impact analysis.
