Limiting the Impact of Stealthy Attacks on Industrial Control Systems (2016, background): “Applications include water control systems [21], state estimation in the power grid [35,36], boilers in power plants [67], chemical process control [10], electricity consumption data from smart meters [40], and a variety of industrial control systems [42].”
A review of cyber security risk assessment methods for SCADA systems (2016, methodology): “In Cardenas et al. (2011), the standard formula for calculating risk as an average loss is accepted and interpreted in the context of a sensor network: where p i is the probability of an attacker compromising sensor i and is accepted to be the same for all sensors and L i is a loss resulting from…”
