According to the report, ABB is also the number-one supplier of
SCADA control center solutions for Transmission and Distribution in North America and Latin America, and the global leader in large-scale
SCADA projects (over USD $1 million).
SCADA is a computer-based system for gathering and analysing real-time data to monitor and control equipment that deals with critical and time-sensitive materials or event, said a statement.
Nearly 80% of these senior security executives responded that a successful attack on their
SCADA systems was at least "somewhat likely."
The trend towards the digitization of
SCADA systems is increasing the vulnerability of nuclear facilities, and many are inadequately prepared.
Qais Saud Al Zakwani, executive director of the Authority, said: "The
SCADA and DCS systems are very diverse in terms of technologies, complexity and age, with the more modern systems being highly complex and interconnected computerised systems using modern IT and data networking technologies."
The prime opportunity for players operating in the global
SCADA market is the increasing popularity of WSN-based (wireless sensor network) and cloud-based
SCADA.
The project depends on advanced technologies, including a backbone network of fibre optics, to transmit digital information in addition to a wireless communications network that links over 450 remote terminal units (RTU) with the
Scada system, enabling the measurement of data in the network.
Most countries operate
SCADA systems in closed networks, and it can be said that such networks are secure from cyber attacks because the vendor's own operating system and protocols are used.
According to the research report, the Global
SCADA System Market was valued at USD 10.43 Billion in the year 2018.
With Nordex OS
SCADA EDGE the Nordex Group now offers the next generation of their operations control system on the basis of a virtual, hardware-independent automatic solution.
He explained that for the unbundling process to be a success, there is a need for a functional Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (
SCADA) and the Electricity Management System (EMS).
