The connection with other systems makes a SCADA system more vulnerable against attacks, generating new security problems. As a result, it is essential to perform diverse security analysis frequently in order to keep an updated knowledge and to provide recommendations and/or solutions to mitigate or avoid anomalous events. This will facilitate the existence of a suitable, reliable, and available control network.}, issn = {1684-5285}, publisher = {CEPIS}, url = {http://www.upgrade-cepis.org/issues/2008/6/up9-6Alcaraz.pdf} }
