I worked on the final presentation and the topic research. The following are my notes.
Human Machine Interface(HMI)=an interface that allos humans to interact with the machine. It provides a visual overview of the automated system status and direct control of its operation. ex. touch display, push button, moble device
Why is HMI important? Displays data frm machines to humans. optimizes an industrial process by digitizing the centralizing data for the viewer.
SCADA=runs teh world's vario9us ciritical infrastructure sectors.
HMI is one of the ways to get in to the SCADA
runs on old Windows operating systems (why so bad?→hacker like windows, because they don't need complex tools to attack))
if hacked, the "treat actors" can get info for
facility layout
device settings(to use for later attacks)
critical thresholds
SCADA software vulnerabilities
memory corruption 20%
credential management 19%
lack of authentication/authorization and insecure defaults 23%
code injection 9%
big chunk of other areas 30%
the average time it takea a SCADA/HMI vendor to release a patch once a bug has been disclosed can go up to 150 day
