Security is critical in modern SCADA systems. Many different security capabilities are now built into the standard communication protocols used by SCADA devices. It is important to verify that secure communications are configured correctly at the system level. Frequently, the first time all of the system components are deployed together is when the system is constructed. By simulating system components with DTM, configuration issues can be identified earlier to ensure security requirements will be satisfied in the final system.
DTM Capabilities Used
- Simulate the communications of multiple devices in a substation or other power system
- Coordinate simulation across network with real network equipment (routers, switches) to create realistic network test scenario
- Generate messaging traffic with standard communication protocols found in SCADA systems
- Simulate both sides of SCADA system (Client/Server, Master/Outstation) with a single tool
- Separate the simulated SCADA traffic from DTM test coordination traffic to create "clean" SCADA traffic on the network under test
