Abstract

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems have existed for over 50 years. Yet, they are still widely used in national critical infrastructures like New York Metro transportation system, NY water-way control systems and power grid. This paper examines the evolution of SCADA systems from closed SCADA systems to open networked SCADA systems and discusses issues adapting SCADA systems into cloud computing paradigm. We propose a framework that secures SCADA systems under cloud environ-ment. It provides reasonable assurance of such adaptation and migration. Finally, we apply it to NY Metro North Subway and Rail Transportation system.
