Abstract

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are critical for managing infrastructure in sectors like oil and gas. Despite their importance, SCADA systems are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks due to their interconnected nature. This research paper explores proactive security measures for SCADA systems, emphasizing advanced technologies such as blockchain, zero-trust architecture, and AI-driven anomaly detection. The objective is to enhance SCADA system resilience by anticipating and mitigating potential threats, thereby ensuring the continuous and secure operation of critical infrastructure.
