Industrial Control Systems/Supervisory Control and Data Acquisitor (ICS/SCADA)

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are integrated hardware and software solutions used to monitor and control industrial processes. These systems are essential for managing production, quality, and efficiency in various industries, including manufacturing, energy, and water treatment. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) is a subset of ICS, focusing on the centralized monitoring and control of entire sites or complex systems spread out over large areas. SCADA systems gather real-time data from sensors and instruments, allowing operators to manage operations, detect issues, and optimize performance through a user-friendly interface. Together, ICS and SCADA ensure the reliability, safety, and efficiency of industrial operations.
