• Commissioning and operations
• The future of SCADA and control systems security

The book also includes four case studies of well-known public cyber security-related incidents.

The Handbook of SCADA/Control Systems, Second Edition provides an updated and expanded source of essential concepts and information that are globally applicable to securing control systems within critical infrastructure protection programs.
