A multi-industry SCADA testbed with commercial hardware and functional physical processes enables realistic critical infrastructure security research and education.

Abstract

Article history: This paper describes the Mississippi State University SCADA Security Laboratory and Power Received 3 January 2011 and Energy Research laboratory. This laboratory combines model control systems from Received in revised form multiple critical infrastructure industries to create a testbed with functional physical 19 June 2011 processes controlled by commercial hardware and software over common industrial Accepted 20 June 2011 control system routable and non-routable networks. Laboratory exercises, functional Published online 29 June 2011 demonstrations, and lecture material from the testbed have been integrated into a newly developed industrial control system cybersecurity course, into multiple other engineering
