“…However, research on cybersecurity seems limited to two studies. First, Wang et al (2017Wang et al ( , 2018 have extended WDA for modeling industrial control systems and malware to identify information requirements for developing ecological interfaces for SCADA cybersecurity. However, their work does not present any proof-of-concept ecological interfaces for industrial control systems.…”

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are widely adopted in critical infrastructures and prime targets of cyberattacks. Ecological Interface Design (EID) is postulated to be an invaluable framework for supporting operators to cope with cyber intrusions, particularly zero-day attacks because prior research has demonstrated effectiveness of ecological interfaces during unanticipated events. However, a suitable research platform is absent for studying user interface in cybersecurity of SCADA systems. This paper presents a SCADA system simulation being designed and implemented for the DURESS thermohydraulic process control simulation common in EID studies. Based on the open literature and industrial standards to ensure representativeness of industrial SCADA systems, the simulation includes two programable logical controllers, seven routers, and a server in a wired communication network. These components should be sufficient to study human response to common cyberattacks on SCADA systems and support future work in prototyping and evaluating user interfaces for SCADA cybersecurity.
