Fifth-Generation SCADA Challenges and Solutions

Oct. 4, 2023
Each generation of SCADA has addressed new obstacles.

Throughout five generations of SCADA system renditions, certain difficult challenges have plagued them. These include minimizing risk, capital expenditures and operational costs, just to name a few.

With the fifth-generation SCADA systems, hope to integrate operational technology (OT) systems with non-OT systems in real time, expand Industrial Internet of Things devices both inside and outside the OT environment and include cybersecurity in critical infrastructure.
