Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are specialized computer systems used to monitor and control industrial processes in sectors like energy, manufacturing, water treatment, and transportation. These systems automate and manage operations in critical infrastructure, ensuring processes run safely, efficiently, and reliably. ICS includes technologies such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, Distributed Control Systems (DCS), and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Because ICS often control essential services, they are important targets for cybersecurity protection to prevent disruptions or damage.
