SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems remotely monitor and control infrastructure assets like pipelines and electrical grids. Individuals or groups can attack SCADA to disrupt infrastructure by gaining unauthorized access to these systems and altering processes or shutting down assets. Compromising SCADA puts public safety and national security at risk by enabling adversaries to manipulate critical systems like water treatment or electrical distribution.
