Abstract

After the Stunex event in 2010, the security problems of SCADA reveal to the public, which abstract more and more researchers to design new security firms to address the security problems of SCADA. Especially, after the software defined network (SDN) arose, it has become a beneficial attempt to improve the SCADA security. In this paper, a formalized vulnerability detection platform named SDNVD-SCADA is presented based on the SDN technology, which can be used to find the most familiar vulnerabilities in SCADA design, implementation, deployment and action processes. A general security mechanism description language and a SCADA vulnerability pattern database are embedded in SDNVD-SCADA to achieve the ambition of automatic vulnerability detection.
