Why SCADA has Failed Rural Water and How Cloud Technology is Fixing the Failure

SCADA–Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition–has been the workhorse of large factories. When SCADA is applied to Rural Water Systems, the limits of Old SCADA show. The need for onsite technical support is costly and yet unpredictable. Rather than taking more control of their water systems. Rural Water operators have lost the ability to support their water systems. Against this ...

From the time that SCADA systems became popular in the 1960s, the fundamental architecture has remained largely the same. Similar to the evolution of the automobile – from Henry Ford’s Model T to the 2018 Porsche Cayenne – the fundamental architecture of how a combustion engine vehicle operates has remained unchanged. That is, until the Tesla Roadster was developed in 2006. ...

Improved real-time data anomaly detection using context classification

The number of automated measuring and reporting systems used in water distribution and sewer systems is dramatically increasing and, as a consequence, so is the volume of data acquired. Since real-time data is likely to contain a certain amount of anomalous values and data acquisition equipment is not perfect, it is essential to equip the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system ...

Locating subverted processes using random packet comparison in SCADA systems

A supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system may be subject to integrity attacks. Anomalies in sensor measurements may be used to detect these attacks, but such techniques do not permit us to locate attacking nodes. We propose a novel technique to enable this. Each participating network node probabilistically copies packets and marks them with routing information, before encrypting ...
