Several noteworthy SCADA attack trends, including an increase in “targeted” attacks, and where they originate from.

This research paper looks at who are continuing to attack external-facing ICS devices and why, and provides attack statistics, in-depth analysis of the threat actors, and their possible motivations.

Combining SCADA and cloud computing: Are the savings substantial enough to offset the security concerns users may have if they migrate integral SCADA devices to the cloud?

Enterprises are moving towards virtualization and cloud computing. However, adopting these new platforms opens new windows of exposure that can be leveraged in data breach attacks.

Knowing what they're losing may be a company's final lifeline against targeted attacks. Once a network's been compromised and attackers have started taking the data they need, it's only a matter of time before they do something drastic.
