detecting-attacks-on-scada-systems
This skill covers detecting cyber attacks targeting Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems including man-in-the-middle attacks on industrial protocols, unauthorized command injection into PLCs, HMI compromise, historian data manipulation, and denial-of-service against control system communications. It leverages OT-specific intrusion detection systems, industrial protocol anomaly detection, and process data analytics to identify attacks that traditional IT security tools miss.

# Detecting Attacks on SCADA Systems
## When to Use
- When deploying intrusion detection capabilities in a SCADA environment for the first time
- When investigating suspected cyber attacks against industrial control systems
- When building detection rules for OT-specific attack patterns (Stuxnet, TRITON, Industroyer)
- When integrating OT network monitoring with an enterprise SOC for unified threat visibility
- When responding to alerts from OT security monitoring tools (Dragos, Nozomi, Claroty)
**Do not use** for detecting attacks on IT-only networks without SCADA/ICS components, for building generic network IDS rules (see building-detection-rules-with-sigma), or for incident response procedures after an attack is confirmed (see performing-ot-incident-response).
