A Realistic Approach for Connecting SCADA/DCS Networks

SCADA/DCS networks monitor and control the most valuable assets nationwide and usually refer to operational networks. On the other hand, most of the users are connected through an administrative network which is less sensitive and thus less secure than the operational network. The demand for connecting the networks is required for business continuity reasons and for day by day necessity. The presentation will analyze the threats with regard to networks connectivity and expand the model to other IP based networks. Some solutions will be analyzed and a novel solution will be presented to overcome the network connectivity problem.
