Abstract
In this presentation, we focus on a lab-scale test bed for a 3 phase power distribution system under industrial PLC control, instrumented with relay, power meters, various ο¬eld protocol switches, supervised by an industrial SCADA system. The main contributions of the paper are (i) case studies of vulnerability assessment of the industrial components of this test bed β components that are being widely deployed in real critical systems throughout the world. (ii) the exploits and their security implications, especially their effect on the physical functioning of the systems; and (iii) mitigation techniques we have deployed to defend against such attacks.
