Abstract
Critical Infrastructures are so crucial to the society and community that a disruption of it can cause great damage. Many of these identified Critical Infrastructures are controlled by control systems like SCADA or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. Because of this, SCADA becomes a target of terrorists and other threats. In this paper, we discuss the relationship of Critical Infrastructure and SCADA, the threats and vulnerabilities and provides steps to minimize these threats and vulnerabilities. We also discuss the security function of SCADA systems and other control systems to sectors which were considered Critical Infrastructure. This paper is the modified and extended version of the paper, the function of SCADA in critical infrastructure, presented at KIIT(Korean Institute of Information Technology) summer conference in 2009 and selected as a best paper.
