Why is it important?

RTUs are identified as the heart of automation and control (SCADA) systems by the systems engineers. As such, security and maintaining nominal operability of such devices has prime importance, especially for the industrial automation networks such as the smart grid.

Perspectives

This article, aims at marrying these two methodologies for the vulnerability assessment of the RTUs in a methodological and scientific way.
