The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) of the United Kingdom has recently published a comprehensive set of guidelines designed to assist organizations in securely transitioning their Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems to cloud environments.
This move comes as industries increasingly leverage the cloud’s capabilities to enhance operational technology (OT) infrastructure.
SCADA systems are pivotal in managing and controlling critical national infrastructure (CNI) and other cyber-physical systems.
They enable the monitoring and manipulation of physical processes across various industries, including utilities, transportation, and manufacturing.
The Benefits and Challenges of Cloud-Hosted SCADA
The guidance provided by the NCSC outlines the potential advantages of cloud-hosted SCADA, such as improved data processing, scalability, and resource optimization.
