Undoubtedly, the emergence of industrial systems such as DCS and SCADA and its connection to the global network has had a tremendous impact on the development of critical infrastructure control processes in countries, especially remote equipment monitoring and control. However, this progress and development has also brought new vulnerabilities that have challenged the cyber security of industrial control systems.

From this point of view, it is necessary to fully understand the platforms and vulnerable sectors as well as the threats caused by them. After knowing the vulnerable parts of industrial systems, examining defensive solutions and improving the safety level are actions that play a significant role in reducing possible threats and risks. Among the most important of these measures, it is possible to mention the use of certificates and recommendation letters to improve cyber security.
