Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems play a critical role in monitoring and managing electrical distribution networks. As utilities modernize their operations, securing and scaling SCADA architectures is essential for ensuring reliability, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance. AWS provides a cloud-based approach to running Distribution SCADA with enhanced security and resilience.

In this session, AWS experts explore best practices for securing and optimizing Distribution SCADA systems on the cloud.

• Strengthen SCADA security: Implement robust identity and access management, encryption, and threat detection to safeguard against cyber threats.

• Enhance operational resilience: Use AWS multi-region architecture and automated failover to ensure SCADA system availability, even during network disruptions.

• Enable real-time monitoring and control: Leverage AWS IoT and edge computing to process SCADA data closer to operations, improving response times and efficiency.

• Reduce infrastructure costs: Migrate on-premises SCADA workloads to AWS to eliminate costly hardware dependencies and improve scalability.

• Ensure compliance and data integrity: Meet industry security standards with AWS services designed for regulatory compliance, including logging, auditing, and anomaly detection.

• Explore different SCADA deployment models: Learn about hybrid, cloud-native, and distributed SCADA approaches that optimize performance and reliability.

By running Distribution SCADA on AWS, utilities can achieve a more secure, scalable, and cost-efficient operational environment. Watch the video to explore secure and resilient SCADA architectures for modern energy distribution.
