Abstract
The term Industrial Control System (ICS) refers to a variety of systems comprised of computers, electrical and mechanical devices, and manual processes overseen by humans; they perform automated or partially automated control of equipment in manufacturing and chemical plants, electric utilities, distribution and transportation systems and many other industries.

Notes
- 1.
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are a sub-class of ICSs in which control is performed over multiple, distributed individual lower-level control systems (hence the word “supervisory”). See Chap. 2 for a more detailed discussion of the different types of ICSs.
