Abstract

Over recent years, IACS (Industrial and Automation Control Systems) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems adopted in Critical Infrastructures (CI), such as smart grids, water, oil and gas dis-tribution networks, have become more complex due to the increasing number of interconnected distributed devices, sensors and actuators, often widely dispersed in the field, and the larger amount of information ex-changed among system components. Such systems need to be flexibly and securely configured, monitored, and managed to prevent the increasing of risks due to both operational errors and cyber-attacks, including intrusions and malware that could compromise their operations or even result in disasters.Within this framework, the project proposes an innovative and modernized logical framework with design improvements of role, operation, architecture, and security components for IACSs, exploiting also Software Defined Networking and Software Defined Security paradigms, and recommends equipment and algorithms devoted to patch already existing IACSs without the disruption of current services.
