Abstract

The increasing dependence of Critical Infrastructures (CI) from Information and Communication Technologies might encompass significant risks to our society. Experimentation with CI before introducing a new technology has always been difficult mainly because the architecture complexity, the inability to conduct experiments within a mission critical environment as well as the lack of specialized tools for recreating a CI. In this paper we present the first results of a study that was conducted in a specialized environment for experimenting with CI. We propose the use of an emulation testbed (Emulab driven) along with SCADA-aware components in order to recreate a typical Process Control Network (PCN). We present here experimental results of the risks that operators might face while installing Wi-Fi access technologies within a PCN. This work is indicative of the approach, that operators could follow, to measure, understand and minimize undesirable consequences to the resilience of a CI.
