How to secure systems that weren't built for security  \u003cp\u003eWorldwide, critical economic and governmental infrastructures have evolved into complex networks that facilitate communication, cost reduction, and efficiency. But the very features that create such benefits make these supervisory control and data acquisition, or SCADA, systems a security nightmare.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the first guidebook to specifically address this vital problem, a veteran systems security expert shows you how SCADA systems have developed and how to understand their components and architecture, recognize risks and vulnerabilities, and learn to use appropriate protocols and countermeasures to protect vital information from cyber-terrorism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLearn how to make SCADA systems safe\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand SCADA system architectures and components\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecognize breaches in security and what makes SCADA systems vulnerable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSee how SCADA security is critical at every level, from a small town's water supply to natural gas pipelines, oil refineries, and nuclear power plants\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamine system architecture and understand how it contributes to security or vulnerability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplore effective countermeasures and safeguards and see how to apply them in your organization\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand why needed security measures are not being used in some operations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalyze your situation and take appropriate steps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989998092517,"sku":"NP9780764597879","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780764597879.jpg?v=1761786159","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/securing-scada-systems-isbn-9780764597879","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
